Steadfast Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Nice bit of LoadHaul and Transrail action there! Triple grey and the black and orange both really suit the locos. Your LoadHaul machine looks to be 60059, it has the small Tilcon plate above the name jo 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerhaul 70 Pey Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 A big thanks to Big Jim for the tip-off on his "down by the tracks with Colas" thread that this was running today as it coincided we me having the day off work! So I took the kids to Hellifield today to catch a glimpse of our first Colas class 60. Looking very smart in the Colas Rail livery was 60087 66849 still managing to photo bomb the Carlisle to Chirk log train!! Then it was time for off with the Class 60 staying on the front of the train. 60087 and 66849 continue their journey. 18 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium jamie92208 Posted June 8, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 8, 2015 Yesterday I was talking to Chris Burnage (Hammer 73) when he was operating Troutons at our club open day. I mentioned to him that somewhere I had some photos taken at Procor when the bodies for the 60's were being built. I've managed to find the negatives and scan them an thought that members might like to see them. They were taken one Saturday morning fairly late in 1989 on a tour round the Procor works at Horbury Junction. A friend of mine from church was a skilled plater there Here's the first with my then 8 year old middle son admiring it. (he's now 33.) And one in the paintshop. I've no memory of which number the bodies were for but they were fairly early on. Dave my friend, told me that for the first two he had spent several days working over the main plate below the cab windows to get it completely flat with no heat stresses from welding. He used a torch and a hammer and apparently the customers were very impressed. Jamie 15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimleygrid Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Superb photos Jamie, thanks for sharing them with us. Procor certainly did a good job on making the bodies as they have held up very well indeed! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold beast66606 Posted June 8, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 8, 2015 Here's a couple from yesterday in Burton-on-Trent 60024 on 6E41 Westerleigh Murco to Lindsey Oil Refinery. I've just noticed this post .. I'm on your picture, I'm looking back at the 60 - photographing it "going away" and all the tanks - alongside the green aspect, I was the fool person with only a t-shirt on, no jacket. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodenhead Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Five and a half years into the thread and these monsters are still lugging freight around the UK. This is a longer goodbye than the 76s and Deltics combined..... For loco that was weeks away from becoming the next EWS metal reclamation exercise it's doing a remarkably good impression of being a productive haulage machine. Seems BR's last freight locomotive wasn't so bad after all. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
