671 is the 3rd "Class 11" to arrive on site at Riversway - arriving as sister loco 663 departed for a new life in Devon.  The loco arrived on 16th July 2005.  671 is of significant importance, as prior to equipping with radio control this locomotive was formerly numbered 601 - the first of the 600 class locomotives. The first 10 600 class locomotives were the only ones entirely built at English Electric's Dick Kerr Works, Preston. 671 retains it's radio control equipment and it is intended update and re-commission this system in due course.  The loco's livery was recently refreshed, and it stands in the museum, awaiting the attention which may return it to service.
