40106 & other motive power, York MPD In the days when the enthusiasts and spotters could access the motive power depot at York with absolute ease to collect the all-important numbers! With the railway museum to the right and York Minster in the background and a non-existent fence, it is a scene totally unrepeatable today! In amongst the lines of Class 47s and Peaks is 40106 in its famous green livery. It was the last of the class scheduled to be painted into BR blue but this never happened as it became a firm favourite with enthusiasts and railtour organisers alike. Later in the day, it is recorded to have run light engine from here at York to Doncaster. I wonder if the young spotter in the red tracksuit top still has his numbers book that is tightly clenched in his hand? Keywords: 40106 York MPD
