Locomotive D7628 “Sybilla” driven by Kieran.
D7628 was built by Beyer Peacock in Manchester as one of the last batch of locos, and entered service at Tinsley in October 1965. After a spell at Wath, she moved to the Midland Region in 1967. By then numbered 25278, this loco was the last of her class to receive a general overhaul, at Derby, in 1981 and was officially withdrawn on 15 March 1987.
Painted in the two-tone green on early examples of the type and named ‘Sybilla’ at the request of her previous owner Jos de Crau, she can be seen in regular use on NYMR. In the winter of 2017, she was repainted by the Carriage & Wagon department in the same scheme, but now with the BR "Cycling Lion" crest that had been missing previously.
