86215 Norfolk and Norwich Festival

This was bought used, having been re-named and chipped by its previous owner, from a well-known auction site. It's otherwise a standard Hornby model with 5-pole Chinese ringfield motor with a hardwired chip.

86215 received this name between 1998-99. However it was originally assigned to 86232 during 1995-98 and was re-assigned on that loco between 2001-05 http://www.aclocogroup.co.uk/data86.php

I originally bought a Lima class 47 582 County of Norfolk in Network SouthEast livery, but changed my mind as I wanted to own a small nucleus of locos that could have been seen together at Willesden between the late 1990s-early 2000s, also the turquoise and white Anglia livery appealed to me. My mum also had close connections with Norwich when she was younger.
