With its unfeasibly large numbers applied to the front end, 56611 sits in Grantham station's small yard specially reinstated for today's Mallard 75 event. The DCR locomotive had towed 55019 'Royal Highland Fusilier' and 4468 'Mallard' from York yesterday and then hung about in the yard generating limited interest. I suspect that the 'normals' visiting the event would be left wondering what the significance of this 1980s freight locomotive is to Mallard and the ECML and so did the enthusiast for that matter!
