Re: Information wanted on class 56's
Mainline certified Class 56's currently run for British American Railways (6), Colas (11), U.K. Rail Leasing (14) and The Class 56 Group (1).
A quick search on the Class 56 page on Wikipedia will give you numbers. I've also found lots of pictures on Google locomotives working for these operators.
Also on YouTube there are lots of videos from Water Orton and Boston of them working.
Apart from 3, 1 for BAR and 2 for Colas all are BREL built loco's the 3 being Romanian from the first 30.
If you need anything else I may be able to get some pictures.
