A Class 91 with pan up on the front and a class 43 power car on the back and also powered up. How common was it? Hallo, From 5m03 a 91 blunt end forward coupled to the DVT. I think this channel shows quite a few 91+MK3 workings es grüßt pc 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you see a class 66 and a US loco of the same scale together they really are amazingly different. The US locos are so much taller and the 66 so much longer.

When you see a class 66 and a US loco of the same scale together they really are amazingly different. The US locos are so much taller and the 66 so much longer. It's a SD75, according to this: https://www.thedieselshop.us/CN.HTML The 66s are shorter in length as well as narrower and less high A SD75 is around 72' 4" and a Cl 66 is 70' 3" Even the engine in the 66 is shorter. Both have EMD 710s but the SD75 is 16 cylinder and the Class 66 is 12 cylinder. Edited March 6, 2021 by melmerby 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manchester Victoria, 26/7/87 I remember having a run behind 45107 out of Paignton in May 1987 and it had the unofficial nameplates marked out and painted red like this but they hadn’t had a chance to do the lettering before it was sent out. Nice memories. Edited March 7, 2021 by Cowley 47521 Don’t seem to know how to spell today. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
