Rods_of_Revolution Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Ah thanks Jo.I didn't think there was anything left in Swindon other than the scrap trains, I shall look out for that as i live in Swindon now . It often runs as a very short train, a 66 with 3 - 4 wagons is common. Neat little working to photograph, yet I am always in the wrong place at the right time and the right place at the wrong time!

RMweb Gold beast66606 Posted February 19, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 19, 2012 60054 was on the West Coast at this time Mick, it overtook 60065 between Wigan and Warrington, 60054 was put onto the Up Slow at Acton Bridge for a Pendo to overtake it, 60065 was checked as 60054 was let out at Hartford and they then ran "block to block" from Hartford Junction to Crewe.

Catkins Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 There was a DB red 60 on tanks at Newark on Friday about 13:30, waiting to cross the ECML, heading towards Humberside. I couldn't get its number, nor did I notice any distinguiting marks on it. I was driving on the A46 at the time! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesB 34067 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Just Wondering why are some people calling the Class 60s as Super Tugs all of the sudden have they got new power units fitted to them or something?? Cheers James. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may be a trick of the light but doesn't the DBS red look to have quickly faded compared to the EWS red that is much older. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willy Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 I would just like to say “thank you†to the likes of Roman, ewsjo and br2975, along with many others, for their generosity in sharing such great photos with us on this thread. Not being in a position to witness these “last days†for myself I especially appreciate them and it will be sad not to see the “tugs†on my occasional visit to the UK. Thank you all.

Rugd1022 Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 60 049 passed me on the Up Slow just north of Radlett at around half eleven this morning, on a short engineering train... I actually did a 'comedy double take' as it came by, as I've not seen one down that way for a very long time! Why do Toton Driver's never smile....?
