Order of the Druid

Another locomotive that has recently been added to our fleet is this Heljan Class 52 'Western Druid' (D1067) in BR blue livery with full yellow ends - Catalogue NÂș 5202. 
She is DCC fitted but is, currently, without sound until I have done some research into who produces the best Class 52 sound files.
So, for now, she goes about her duties effectively but silently!
In the top photo she can be seen passing Manxton station at the head of an express train comprising Mk2 carriages.
In the middle photo we see her performing more mundane duties, collecting cattle wagons from the siding at Carswater.
Finally, in the bottom photo, she is seen shunting the same wagons into the siding at High Bridge, on the branch line from Gunnmere Junction.
