Three classic British locos, in three classic liveries of the 1990s: 56111 in the attractive Loadhaul black and orange livery, 37401 "Mary Queen of Scots" in a fresh coat of EWS red & gold, and the three-tone grey of Railfreight Distribution on 47555"The Commonwealth Spirit". By now all three locos were in the ownership of EWS, having bought all of the pre-privatisation shadow freight companies. For me this was a lucky line-up and I was glad to capture it for posterity. Seen on the stabling point.
