For much of their career they were based at Toton depot near Nottingham and deployed on merry-go-round coal trains between East Midlands collieries and power stations. In 1994, the fleet transferred to Mainline Freight and quickly expanded its range across the south-east of England and to a more diverse range of freight traffic. In 1996, the fleet was absorbed by EWS and although it was expected to form a key part of the company‚ long-term plans, withdrawal took place between 1999 and 2002. EWS and its successors exported many to France, Spain and the Netherlands for further use.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Heljan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55160453366136,"sku":"GM7240601","price":544.45,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0073\/9291\/9599\/files\/gm724060158031.jpg?v=1749482959","url":"https:\/\/pecorama.myshopify.com\/products\/gm7240601-gaugemaster-o-gauge-class-58-021-hither-green-depot-mainline-blue","provider":"The Model Railway Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
