Manufacturer description

73967 – Caledonian Sleeper, Early

This locomotive is one of the two 73/9s that started life as a JA 73. Not that it changes the prototypes as all traces of JA were removed during rebuilding. E6006 was built at Eastleigh in November 1962 and was later renumbered to 73006 under TOPS. It was rebuilt at Brush Wabtec during 2015 and entered traffic with Caledonian sleeper the same year. Our model represents 73967 in the condition it was first adapted to work with the new Mk5 coaches with drop Dellner coupler and two-part snowploughs but still retaining 3rd rail equipment
