Manufacturer description

BR Class 60 No. 60002 was delivered to British Rail in 1989 before undergoing extensive testing. Due to the many problems the Class 60 initially faced and the requirement for 1000 hours of trouble free running, 'Capability Brown' was only officially accepted into British Rail service at the end of 1992.
