Barclay 0-6-0 Class 06 diesel mechanical shunter No. 06003 is pictured near Market Bosworth, on the Battlefield Line, hauling a four-coach 15:40 Shenton to Shackerstone service on 31st May 1997. This locomotive started its career in February 1959 as D2420 before being renumbered to 06003 following the introduction of TOPS. On withdrawal from BR service in February 1981 it entered departmental service at Reading Signal Works where it was renumbered to 97804. Following preservation its TOPS number of 06003 was restored.
