56126-S241.jpg (108183 bytes)

EWS Class 56.

EWS's Component Recovery & Distribution Centre at Wigan has become the final resting place for many redundant locomotives. All locomotives that arrive here are destined for stripping of all reusable components, many of which are now obsolete and are costly and/or hard to obtain. These components are then distributed around to be reused on other sevicable examples in order to keep them going. In this view, 56126, which has been removed from it's bogies and the bodyshell dumped on a wagon, awaits the inevitable at Wigan CR&DC on Saturday 14th August 1999.
Although this is a pretty youthful loco (1983/84 vintage), combination of arrival of the new GM Class 66, which incidentally are just basically a modern Class 56 , and a serious failure while working a train brought about the withdrawal of this loco.
