Latest News page on WNXX states D3255 has gone to "a private site near York", but no other details.

"I was driving out of the village of Stamford Bridge this morning towards York on the A166, heading the other way was a low loader and escort vehicle hauling a very heavily cannibalised 08 shunter, couldn't see number due to graffiti but looked like EWS livery, the rear of the cab was painted navy blue.... " was one post and the reply suggests
"Blue cab and graffiti on the rest sounds like D3255 ex Colne Valley for Thompsons?"
Anyone able to confirm please?

I may be wrong, but i very much doubt if it has gone to the NYMR. I wouldn't actually call that a private site.

Like Simon has said in a previous post, we are looking for somewhere like 08220 was based, or 08628 at Blackrod. I've had a look on Google maps, and Murton Lane has got various yards that it could've been dropped of to, but as you've said, it had already passed there.

There are one or two warehouses along the A166, where it could've been dropped off, so we might be looking at somewhere around there, Rob.

You mean this is the start of a new Strategic Reserve?

It isn't there. Got in touch with the guys there, and they hadn't a clue to its whereabouts.

I've had word from a very special contact of mine, that it is indeed at.......sorry guys, i'm sworn to secrecy. All i can is, that it was brought privately from Traditional Traction.
