Modern railway locomotive - Great Central Railway
The GCR heritage railway is also used as a test track for more modern railway vehicles. This is Brush battery electric locomotive No. 1159 built for the Hong Kong Mass Transit Railway in 2015 and being tested on the GCR. It is coupled to a generator van. There were lots of steam locomotives around with some 80 planned movements but I still had time for something a little different.
