RMweb Gold Popular Post 4630 Posted October 11, 2018 RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted October 11, 2018 With the autumn morning mist beginning to lift, GBRf liveried 60095 passes through Burton Salmon with 6H12, 06.24 Tyne Coal Terminal to Drax, on 11th October 2018. The 60 was scheduled to work back with 6N61, 12.00 Drax to Tyne Coal Terminal, and duly turned up at Brotherton... ... unfortunately so did 4R51, 12.27 Milford West Sidings to Immingham Biomass lp which was running a few minutes early! Ah well - or words to that effect. 20 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerhaul 70 Pey Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Something new of interest in the North West. GBRF 60095 6F67 Tuebrook Sidings to Hanson Ashton In Makerfield. This stone flow originates from Hanson Shapbeck quarry in Cumbria and there are two trips from Tuebrook sidings in Liverpool to Hanson Ashton In Makerfield. This train is currently running Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. It has been some years since the Haydock Branch has seen any freight trains. These are various photos of the train on the Haydock Branch line. This one is from Bryn station in Wigan. 16 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold 4630 Posted November 7, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 7, 2018 In the late afternoon gloom at Brighouse on 6th November 2018, GBRf 60085 leads 66770 and a solitary JNA wagon with 6Z10, 11.40 Tuebrook Sidings to Doncaster Roberts Road. Either the 66 or the JNA, or possibly both, would benefit from a visit to the wheel lathe judging by the sound as they passed by. 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The GBRf (ex Colas) 60s are regular performers on the Port of Tyne - Lynemouth PS biomass trains. I see them almost everyday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

smithlington smithe Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 I see DBC are making eight more class 60’s available for sale, - 60008 60028 60029 60046 60055 60064 60070 & 60098,60070 looking in a very sorry state at Toton.I so hope someone buys at least some of them. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold TravisM Posted December 1, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 1, 2018 I believe terms of the sale is their refurbished and able to be put back into traffic. I think DBC are very sensitive about them going for scrap regardless of condition. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if it is coming back or will we get a different loco this week if the train runs.Edit: ah, looks like it is coming back this afternoon...

Jack374 Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Hopefully it's a costing excercise and DB put them back into traffic themselves!Possibly, although I reckon their value in terms of ability is on the up as trains get longer, heavier etc, and 66s sometimes can't cope. Maybe another company (GBRf spring to mind) would want them and be willing to put them through overhaul? Then again imagine a Freightliner or Europhoenix 'Tug'...or a triple grey sector one working for a tour operator (LSL/Saphos??)...I’ll stop now.... DB's fleet are still hard at it...I saw two yesterday at Stenson Jn and Barrow on Trent in Derbyshire... 60091 on 6M57/0717 Lindsey to Kingsbury: 60019 on 6E54/1040 Kingsbury to Humber OR: And the videos...they still sound well... https://youtu.be/6wNr1kynANk Thanks, Jack. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
