Apologies for any disappointment this weekend with 56006 and D1501. 56006 related to battery charging circuit problems which occurred Saturday and power relay issues with D1501 Sunday, unforseeable unfortunately. The 56 group are gutted, but repairs will be undertaken straight away. Follow the 56016/56006 Group on Facebook
