Virgin have decided to name all their 12 re-engined class 57 3 locos after characters in the famous Thunderbird puppet series. 57308 which is pictured at Nuneaton on a very sunny July 12th 2003 has the name 'TIN TIN'. Rescue locos in the UK have for some time been refered to as THUNDERBIRDS so these a very appropriate names for the locos.
