The Pullman-liveried Class 06 diesel shunter, as photographed in January 2013. A new arrival to the railway, yet produced some five years previously - this being an official Hornby Club locomotive for 2008 - this engine was an attractive purchase as a limited-release, small-sized shunting engine for the railway. Though the Pullman livery is far from realistic it does look moderately attractive in some ways, with some of the minimal detail on this engine helping to bring its looks up even further.

The side of the locomotive, where its livery is able to shine through the greatest. This locomotive does look decent in some ways, though unrealistic as it is; the only downfall with this engine is its chassis which IS wholly unrealistic and provides this engine with a top speed too high to comprehend. Nevertheless the engine runs smoothly and is intended as a more basic locomotive for crews to learn from.

The side of the locomotive, showing off the impressively-done Pullman crest and fine lettering on the toolboxes. The separate handrails are also a nice touch - not as detailed as the Class 08, but still very nicely done.

The cab of the diesel, where the numbering and lettering are crisp and the simplistic looks are allowed to come through in a decent way.

The rear of the locomotive, where the warning stripes are applied nicely and the overall shape of the engine looks the part.

The front of the diesel, showing its looks once more. Overall a simple yet decent looking locomotive, which is able to appeal to collectors and newer drivers alike.
