Articles, pictures and discussion related to British Rail Class 26 diesel locos

Class 26 diesel locomotives were built by the Birmingham Railway Carriage and Wagon Company between 1958 and 1959. Originally the Class 26s were known as the BRCW Type 2. 47 Class 26s were built and were almost exclusively usedin Scotland. The final Class 26 loco was withdrawn in 1994.

Several have been preserved and run on heritage railways.

NYMR 70s Diesel Gala 2016

Here is a quick overview of our trip with the art stall to Pickering on the Friday and Saturday of the recent NYMR 70s Diesel Gala.
Our newly released Class 37 digital painting picture was warmly received and sold well.

40013 and 55007 Looking Great

It was great to see Class 40 D213 40013 Andania back in service after a thorough 20+ year restoration looking and sounding great. Hats off to the owners and everyone involved as the restoration looks top notch.

It seemed very strange to see Deltic 55007 Pinza again, even though we know it is 55022 Royal Scots Grey in disguise. I’m not overly sure about the concept of disguising loco identities but the commercial aspects for the owner is obvious. Nevertheless it was great to see an ex works condition Finsbury Park racehorse coloured Deltic, complete with white cab surrounds again.

 Home Fleet Sounding Great

Both small Sulzer Type 2 locos Class 25 D7628 (25278) and 26038 sounded great and 37264 looked good as an authentic Scottish large logo class 37.

From an operating point of view 26038 didn’t have the best of weekends, failing on both the Friday and Saturday. Saturdays failure caused quite significant delays. From a trading point of view we had a good couple of days despite the seemingly low number of attendees.

We are very much looking forward to going back to the NYMR railway for their Autumn Steam Gala running from 30th Sept to 2nd October.

We are at several other events this summer so drop by and see our unique pictures and digital paintings.

Thanks for reading
