Matt Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 I was stood in York station last week when a pair of 60s rumbled through with a very long rake of BBA and BAA in tow. No idea if this is a regular working but wow those wagons are looking knackered these days - replicating their current condition would be some job and that full rake would be expensive to do! Was the Puma 60 + Drax 60 if anyone interested. Not sure why 2 60s as would seem a lot of power? Maybe one broke? M Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Sorry not quick enough - was walking back to my car and saw a new route over a bridge I hadn’t seen before (it’s been a few years...) - followed it, ended up next to Scarborough platforms, a rumble and oh look!! There was a guy standing expectantly with a camera there so I guess he might have one but I don’t know who he was! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimleygrid Posted August 6, 2021 Author Share Posted August 6, 2021 Always nice to see a 60 on the Lakenby to Scunthorpe steel workings. Not my photo but a great shot by Jim Dowsett on Flickr. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimleygrid Posted August 6, 2021 Author Share Posted August 6, 2021 Not the best quality, apologies I cannot find a higher res version, of 60084 at Hatfield and Stainforth in 2008 with a loaded working from Scunthorpe. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

M Regular, and several times a day - some use the freight avoiding line so not seen at the station. Some sets have BDAs with them as well - 68 - 62 years old and going like the clappers, loaded. Lots of photos on my site. https://PaulBartlett.zenfolio.com/class66/e3cf62a5 https://PaulBartlett.zenfolio.com/class60/e9272f1fa I've not seen a pair of 60s, but 66 and 60 https://PaulBartlett.zenfolio.com/class60/eeeb36149 As always the BBAs are here https://PaulBartlett.zenfolio.com/bba as you say they are in a right mess, and many have been altered especially floor, ends and some bogies. https://PaulBartlett.zenfolio.com/bba/eeed113f5 Paul Edited August 6, 2021 by hmrspaul 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've already got mine pre-ordered so looking forward to getting them! Thank you Chris, we are also very excited about the second run, especially the new liveries. Feedback has been fed back to the factory and production is well underway. Unfortunately, we cannot say for certain when they will be here, however, once production has been completed, we will provide a further update and estimated delivery. This is all dependant on the factory, Covid and shipping. Hope that helps. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
