SETS' preserved locomotive 8606 made its maiden tour on Saturday 6th December 2003. This trip saw 8606 recreate the Newcastle flyer with a non-stop journey along the main Northern line. 8606 was also believed to be the first 86-class locomotive to traverse the Richmond line. The following images show the tour train on the day.
In another historic scenario, 8606 traversed the City Circle. This is believed to be the first, or one of very few, visits to the City Circle by this type of locomotive. 8606 is shown here stopped at Museum. Photograph by Matthew Doyle [12/12]
