Another livery consigned to the history books............... The last of the Metronet fleet was repainted into standard GBRf/Euro blue a few weeks ago.

 

Cheers,

Here's another interesting livery variation. 66740 in Freightliner colours without branding.

 

The loco had been purchased by Gbrf and is seen here working one of the last  North Blyth - Lynemouth Alcan trip workings on 1st March 2012. The driver has decided to put his feet up while he waits for the Alcan Unilok to sort out loaded PCAs to return to Lynemouth.

Any ideas on eta into the UK, and which port will they arrive into ??

 

I believe it will be the usual route for 66's via Newport Docks. I have seen a date of the 27th mentioned.

 

Cheers,

Mick

Thanks Dave,

I'll tell my pals they can relax for a couple of weeks.

Bob.

 

Hi Bob,

 

If any are on Facebook - ask them to friend GBRF - they post news regularly.

Some from Toton today, including another mixed triple.

66559 was on Aldwarke - Whitemoor (I think), the rake was 1x  buffer fitted MBA & 7x SSA, would make a nice model I reckon!

 

Cheers,

Phil.
