Class 73 – GBRf (Current) – 73965 Des O’Brien

Description

73965 GBRf, Current73965 entered GBRf service in 2015 alongside 73964. This was completed alongside some of the Phase two locomotives and as such has some paint differences to the first three, notably the grilles and the area above the cab windows. Originally not named, this locomotive was given the name Des o Brien in memory of a GBRf colleague who passed away from Cancer. Notably the naming took place at the same time, on the opposite end of the train to former Exclusive 66769 Paul Taylor. Our model represents the locomotive in its current condition with name, still carrying early Brush blue paint, cab front bracket and current GBRf branding.
