The nameplate carried by NºE6003. Some might query whether a humble
electro-diesel is a fitting loco to honour the legendary General Manager of the
Southern Railway. However Sir Herbert was a successful, creative, adaptable and
pragmatic man and one cannot help thinking that had he still be managing the
railway in the 1960s he would have sponsored such a successful adaptable loco
class that has well proved itself by being long lived.

| Another view of the driving controls in the cab, this time of
of NºE6003. A volunteer working on the loco at the time obligingly opened the cab
window so this photograph could be taken from the adjacent stationary train.
