Hi,
I think this is a class 66 locomotive, 66720, operated by Metronet for engineering work on London's underground lines.

You can see some detail about the class in Wikipedia here.

Hope this is useful,

Thanks Glyn,
It was such an unusual train to see and had quite a few interested.

Thanks Paul,

It appears it was a visitor to the Nene Valley Railway Diesel Gala earlier this month. They have a picture of it here.

Thanks Glyn,
I don't go there looking for trains actually,I go for a walk around the lakes and land I often take pictures of wild birds, snakes, damsel flies ect ,There is a Red Kite around which I'm itching to take a picture of, the trains are by luck only, however they do have a large following of photographers, with every brand of camera's and lenses you can think of, very nice bunch of people.
