Little is known about this 48DS, other than it came from a railway wagon works in Nottinghamshire. It was noted being unloaded from a Shelby Group lorry in April 1975. A couple of weeks later, parts of what are assumed to be the same locomotive were seen from Garrison Lane bridge, in a BR mineral wagon. Presumed scrapped by 5/75.

I like the unhappy face chalked on the front right side buffer. Or is that just a trick of the light.

It does indeed have a face chalked on the buffer.

Beautiful model - never seen a flatbed/loco combination before.  It’s usually the realm of the military modeler.  Love the details like the cable winch etc.  Rusting and weathering is superb.
