50049, "Class 50"50049_20141003_0150049 Defiance at Severn Valley Railway, Kidderminster Town

It was with great sadness that the diesel preservation community learnt of the untimely death of Neil Morgan (aka 'Slim'). Neil had been at the forefront of Class 50 preservation from the beginning back in the early 1990s. He was instrumental in 50031 Hood becoming the first mainline certified preserved Class 50 on Network Rail metals when it hauled The Pilgrim Hoover railtour in November 1997.

Thank-you for the legacy you have left us. May you rest in peace.
