RMweb Premium ColinK Posted July 6, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 6, 2017 If you like 68s, they are often on the Sellafield flasks. In the last few days I've seen, Two 68s hauling one flask wagon. Two 68s top and tailing one flask wagon. Four 68s hauling two flask wagons. I've seen 68s in plain DRS blue, Compass livery and even a Chiltern livery one. Not seen a Scotrail one yet on a flask train. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wild Boar Fell Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 https://twitter.com/planegeek_x/status/905152322149462017 Thanks Jim, Another one here showing the lack of yellow front end. Not sure the livery quite sits right on the loco given the use of straight lines over a lot of curves. https://twitter.com/pipdunn/status/905152582955479045 Wild Boar Fell Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold ruggedpeak Posted November 29, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 29, 2017 Do we know why DRS are painting the later 68's in a retro DRS livery instead of the natty Compass one? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
