A superb little open day at March this afternoon, with an excellent display of NRs new automated ballast and track-laying kit.

Also a couple of GBRf class 66s, including the naming of 66701 "Whitemoor" and an ex-GER J15 posing as 65420, a former March machine.

I am ashamed it took me so long to work out what was going on there! I was staring at the nose in disbelief for ages before even noticing it was just part of the first 6 in 66701! :)

I suppose it is, especially since H.M.P. Whitemoor maximum security is built on it now. :o(
