Preserved LU loco on "The Tube"
It is L11. This has been raised a number of times by various ppl. It is
owned by Craven Heritage Trains Ltd.(CHTL) and is between the car park and the old signal box at Epping approach. Last time I was up there I noticed several large rectangular type containers, the sort you often see used as portable offices, at the far end of the car park which rather blocks the view now of L11 somewhat, certainly from the station itself it does. As for L11 it seemed the volunteers started some kind of remedial work on the loco and it now sports several shades of battleship grey, dark red and that awful yellow, in fact a real mixture. Seems to have stayed like this most of the summer and now late Autumn without any significant change. http://www.simon5596.supanet.com/L11.htm but the site seems very slow loading. -- regards, Redtube ------------------------------------------------------------------- See you at the London Tube Chat http://way.to/tube or Undernet IRC irc://undernet/tube |

The line to Ongar is now owned by a Private Company called Epping Ongar Railway. |

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. |
