Watched The Tube on ITV last night. They showed some LU guys preserving
some old LU works loco in by way of doing this they had it carted up
to Epping to be put into "a private siding". What siding would this be?
Is it on LU tracks or on the old epping-ongar line?

I think it's the abandoned Epping-Ongar section, near Epping: I think you can
see the loco under tarpaulin from a nearby overbridge.

In that case, it'll probably be covered in graffiti by now...

Can you give any more details - I missed the prog ?

The loco is (I think) L11: it's 2 ends of driving cars from Tube Stock (of the
sort which was, or possibly still, on display in the Science Museum, South
Kensington) welded together to form an electric loco for LT. It's
yellow-coloured - I am sure you can find a picture of it in old LT stocklist
books (Ian Allan) etc.

It is L11. This has been raised a number of times by various ppl. It is
owned by Craven Heritage Trains Ltd.(CHTL) and is between the car park and
the old signal box at Epping approach.

Last time I was up there I noticed several large rectangular type
containers, the sort you often see used as portable offices, at the far end
of the car park which rather blocks the view now of L11 somewhat, certainly
from the station itself it does.

As for L11 it seemed the volunteers started some kind of remedial work on
the loco and it now sports several shades of battleship grey, dark red and
that awful yellow, in fact a real mixture. Seems to have stayed like this
most of the summer and now late Autumn without any significant change.

The train in the science museum has long gone. When I was a nipper you
were allowed inside but in later years not. Then last year I went to
the Acton Depot where it now isand was allowed back in. Nice bit of
nostalgia
