Solid shot! The up-angle makes her look massive!

Yes, it does make her look big. But in reality she's a cute little thing.

Yes, this BL2 has ditch lights - obviously not original to the loco - since it has to run over crossings at over 20mph. The ditch lights are installed at both ends of the loco.

Here all locomotives must be fitted with ditch lights.

For regular survies yes, I just never expected to see a BL2 in still in regular operation.

Heritage diesels have to be fitted with ditch lights here too.
