Geoff Endacott Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Maybe Colas have seen the 68s and decided they would like a fleet of them instead. Geoff Endacott Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Durranhill Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Those new 70's have spent nearly as much time at Seaforth docks as it took to ship them across the Atlantic . Or has somebody left the keys for them in the U.S ?? . Stewart Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium GWRPhil Posted January 12, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 12, 2014 Their original plan was for the Class 68.... very strange. I prefer 68 as well.... suits it more.Been photoshopping recently, and come up with this, a DRS compass liveried 70 (70101)The photo used, is copyright to Gareth Bayer ?© who has kindly given me permission to post this imageDRS 70.jpgWant a livery request? Just ask, and I shall see what I can do. although now a defunct livery i've always wondered what the 70 would look like in fastline livery Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
