Somewhat in the distance but an interesting subject in Wembley

yard nonetheless. Firstly in its Caledonian Sleeper livery 86401 'Mons Meg' is seen stabled in between the movement of sleeper stock to and from here and Euston. Behind it is a former Nightstar generator coach number 96371. This generator coach was converted from former MK3 Sleeper 10545 in the early 1990s. These were to provide an electric supply for the rakes of Nightstar sleepers that were to operate from the UK through the Channel Tunnel and to various destinations across northern Europe. The generators were needed when the trains were being hauled by diesel power, planned to be Class 37s. The highly expensive Nightstar programme never came to fruition with the sleeper stock sold and exported to Canada with the various generators coaches finding a variety of uses throughout the UK.
