Manufacturer description

Delivered from BREL Doncaster during October 1984, 58017 stayed in its as-delivered condition until 1989, when it was repainted into Triple Grey with Coal Sector branding. It gained a Toton depot plaque but was not named. In September 1993, it was named “Eastleigh Depot” and soon afterwards was rebranded with the Mainline "wheels" logo. It remained in this condition right up until its withdrawal and storage in April 1999. It became a parts donor for the locomotives overhauled for export and was, rather ironically, scrapped by EMR at Eastleigh in January 2014.

Prototype information

^* Class names often change over the lifespan of a locomotive, so this is not necessarily the class name used by the operator in the period modelled.

Accurascale Class 58 – Mainline Grey – 58017 is a DCC‑ready model of the British Class 58 locomotive, supplied in the Mainline livery. It carries the manufacturer part number ACC3482 and represents the rebuilding era of the railways.

The prototype was delivered from BREL Doncaster in October 1984 and remained in its as‑delivered condition until 1989, when it was repainted in Triple Grey with Coal Sector branding and fitted with a Toton depot plaque, though it was not named. In September 1993 it received the name “Eastleigh Depot” and shortly afterwards was rebranded with the Mainline “wheels” logo. The locomotive stayed in this guise until its withdrawal and storage in April 1999.

After withdrawal the unit was used as a parts donor for locomotives overhauled for export and was ultimately scrapped by EMR at Eastleigh in January 2014.
