 I had to walk down from Bescot Stadium station to get my only photograph of a Class 66, the rest being much further down out of sight at the southern end. 66849 'Wylam Dilly' awaits its next job in the Colas stabling area. I have only one other photograph of this Class 66 and that was also a poor one taken at Westbury some years ago. Wylam Dilly is now accepted to be the second oldest surviving railway locomotive in the world dating from 1815. It was designed and built by William Hedley and Timothy Hackworth for use in Wylam Colliery and is currently on display at the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh.
