            Following the collapse of Advenza/Cotswold Rail in the summer of 2009 57005 has been dumped along side Cardiff General station since October 2009 and is seen here seven months later on the 17th April 2010. 

Locomotive History
Originally class 47 locomotive D1831 it was built at the Brush Falcon works, Loughborough and entered traffic in May 1965, allocated to Toton. It became 47350 in the 1973 TOPS renumbering scheme and spent its career as a class 47 allocated to Toton, Crewe or Tinsley. In 1997 Freightliner placed an order for an initial six class 57/0 locomotives, rebuilt by Brush Traction at Loughborough from redundant class 47 locomotives. The locomotives are fitted with a refurbished General Motors engine, and a reconditioned alternator, vastly improving reliability and performance. 57005 was delivered to Freightliner in 1998 and named Freightliner Excellence. In 2007, Freightliner started to replace its Class 57s with new class 66 locos and 57005 was leased to Cotswold Rail and repainted in their Advenza Freight livery. 57005 is currently (December 2012) owned by West Coast Railway Co. and is stored at Carnforth.
