Mystery Peak at Crewe Heritage Centre

[60163]

There must be someone here who knows
At the 'back end' of the CHC, where theresits a black 08 also, I spotted what looks a helluva lot like a Peak, completely covered in a tarpaulin.

Can someone help? Thanks.

46035

The peak is 46035 which used to be D172 and also 97403 (named Ixion).

It's owned (I believe) by Waterman Railways and has been sheeted over since it arrived from Leeds Midland Rd in 2006. No work has been done on it since.

Incidentally, what locos did DRS send down yesterday for the open day?

Thanks, both of you. The DRS locos were 66432, 20308, 20309 and 37683, not exactly a spectacular turnout. Not only that, but on the saturday there were only ever about 25 people milling about the whole site! It was pretty deserted, methinks due to a Man U game on the same day.

Or perhaps everybody was at the East Lancs scooping the 08s for haulage

Ah ok. I considered the Man U thing due to an abundance of people on the trains I had to get to Crewe.

Also spotted 37108 looking rather nice now, noticed through 1 of the engine room doors that was open that its missing its power unit? Any actual overhaul plan for this or has mr davenport just bought it for display etc?
