Hi. I was at Nuneaton today and saw a double headed freight train. I got the numbers 86 638 and 86 608.
When I got back home to transfer my numbers, I realised that 86 608 was not in my book. Maybe this is a re-numbered loco? I'm not sure. Can anybody explain? Thanks:)

86501 was recently modified, it had non-standard gearing for better tractive effort but it has been returned to 86/6 spec and renumbered.
