LPPC DSL BW 0880 Spotters discuss the occupants of Gloucester Horton Road depot on a Saturday morning. In steam days all these locos and sidings would have been within 85B’s main shed building. With the Cotswolds behind, there are two Sulzer Type 2 Class 25s, two Peak Class 45s (the front one is a ‘namer’) and three Class 08 350hp shunters waiting for Monday morning. 6V86 must have been a local freight service as the headcode appears on the Peak in this shot as well as the previous one.
