RMweb Premium jamie92208 Posted November 15, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 15, 2013 Is it me or does the cab looks very HST'ish! It certainly has the look of the prototype HST. Jamie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Gary H Posted November 15, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 15, 2013 Thought they'd fitted an Alco 251 with that amount of clag. Nice looking loco too. Jamie Yes Il agree with that except an Alco 251 sounds like a locomotive engine! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Kris Posted December 6, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 6, 2013 It looks rather small on that track. Possibly an effect of the white livery. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Ron Ron Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Notice the marked differences between that Class 68 UKLight and the EuroLight it's based on. Here is the slightly larger Eurolight......... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
APOLLO Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 At last, someone has designed a decent looking modern loco. Wonder what nicknames they will receive ? Vaselines ??? (slippery shape) !!! Brit15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewartingram Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 It looks rather small on that track. Possibly an effect of the white livery. Or the use of Peco concrete sleeper track? Stewart Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scouser Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Hmm! this is supposed to be a clean modern loco engine. Hopefully that smoke was just some sort of new engine lubrication, otherwise I will have to check the definition of clean. Nice looking engine though not as purposeful looking as a class70.

Grampus Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Certainly rather more attractive than the European mainland version it has evolved from. It looks very purposeful. Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lmsforever Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 This loco will look good in DRS livery also in Freightliner maybe this could be the answer to to their loco shortage? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clay Country Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 This loco will look good in DRS livery also in Freightliner maybe this could be the answer to to their loco shortage? I wonder if the class 88 electro-diesel version might be of interest to Freightliner to replace the 86s and 90s. Would look pretty good in PowerHaul colours.
