Default Preserved LU loco on "The Tube"

District Dave has info and photos of it on his site:

As you leave Epping to head towards Ongar there is a LU siding on the
left. The line to Ongar is now owned by a Private Company called Epping
Ongar Railway.


The preserved L11 locomotive is not on the siding at the Ongar end.
It is near the old signal box at the Theydon Bois end of Epping
station. All trains go right past it. Years ago there was a
non-electrified engineers siding outside the signal box, battery locos
or track machines were sometimes left there so this loco doesn't look
out of place now.
