Though my vote would be for an unbranded triple grey, given as well as being suitable for the released loco it would also be perfect for renumbering for anyone looking for a different sector / Transrail / Mainline / Loadhaul / Large Logo EWS triple grey loco (likewise for the 56) So should hopefully appeal to multiple purchasers Another vote for unbranded triple grey here - I've not yet decided whether I want one 60 with a modern motor or two preowned Lima ones (one of which would be in EWS livery, the other in triple grey). I thought a good compromise might be to get an unbranded triple grey one and get an EWS patch logo transfer to put on one side. That said, have there been any unbranded ones without nameplates (to make identity changes easier)? After a little web searching I found three photos of unbranded ones, but all three are named: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:60028_at_Althorpe.jpg https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:60068_"Charles_Darwin"_at_Peak_Forest_-_5467650909.jpg https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Empty_tanks_from_Longport_head_to_Fawley_at_St_denys_(48565021137).jpg Also, it maybe better as one for the a batch for general sale rather than an exclusive.

BritishRail60062 Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Well to be honest. The Class 60's have been with us for a while and times are changing. Perhaps DC Rail will take over the super 60's that were overhauled and I am sure that GBRF would be interested in them maybe? Sadly nothing lasts forever but I am grateful I was able to see them in the flesh from 1991 to 2017 when I left England. I am sure 60001 and 60100 will join the NRM this year once the 66/6's are in service. Also it will be the final tether that will be severed for my interest in UK freight as I am more into American and Canadian trains these days. But I will still buy the lovely looking Cavalex Models example when they come out. I will buy 60010 and a triple grey one that will see off my two Hornby models I now have.

GordonC Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 I'd wonder if they might designate 2 to make sure of a backup plan if 60100 wasn't available for some reason. e.g. thinking of the 58s stranded in France after the end of their work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BR loco at least, I don't think the 92 entirely counts as that does it? Don't forget Clayton are still making locos too! I am just intrigued as to why 60001 would be relevant/they'd want two.
