RMweb Gold beast66606 Posted January 9, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 9, 2012 Quite right. There are only so many colours you can paint a shed. Paul And 66720 has all of them ... 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffP Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 You know........I thought exactly the same as you before I heard and saw them......but they grew on me. Not surprising as I did like the 58's a lot. Besides, its good to have another class of loco fleet growing. Seen one, unimpressed. Bring back 56's The 58's weren't used here, they couldn't make it with a loaded train up the gradient of GunHouse (Gunness) bank from the Trent into Scunthorpe, here in the Lincolnshire flatlands Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Mick Not showing yet, but I estimate that mileage is now down to about only about 250 miles from the Irish Coast Does anyone know if it has more than one class 70 loco on board.....i.e. 70018 Flying Dutchman.

RMweb Premium jamie92208 Posted January 18, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 18, 2012 There has just been a posting on another forum that two more have been seen on the test track at Erie, presumably they will be 19 and 20 and could well come via Liverpool shortly.

RMweb Premium Roman Posted January 20, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 20, 2012 Here's a couple of shots I took earlier at the docks which show 70018 being unloaded, then transported on its trailer to the unloading/railing point. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glorious NSE Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Sorry I just keep being distracted by other interesting stuff in those pics - check out the North American registered flatbed trailers...didn't realise ACL (or anyone in fact!) offered Ro-Ro across the Atlantic! Wonder how much it would be to take my car on holiday... http://www.aclcargo.com/examplesofRoro.php (They're clearly HO scale, and the 70 is N in that first shot...)

Wonder how much it would be to take my car on holiday... http://www.aclcargo....mplesofRoro.php (They're clearly HO scale, and the 70 is N in that first shot...) I`ve brought several (personally owned - U.S registered) vehicles via Baltimore to Liverpool (using a shipping-agency named 'Motorships')......the chaps at the quay office at Dundalk even give you a lift from the docks to BWI airport to catch onward travel.....If I recall correctly; the last time I shipped a pickup-truck the cost was about $440 (USD) one way, the arriving vehicle was inspected and released by HM customs at Seaforth shortly after arrival, and as a "personal import" was free of duty/taxes and road-tax/MOT requirements, for 6 months: until either sold (taxes then becoming payable), or re-exported.....I sold them in the U.K and still came out ahead, as then there was thriving market for unusual/older cars and trucks from 'dry' (rust-free) states. I did once enquire about an accompanying voyage (with a vehicle) on an ACL vessel (back in the late 90`s): it was possible, but there was a rather ponderous booking, insurance and vetting proceedure......I`d imagine 9/11 may have put a stop to those interesting opportunities. The arrivals/departure car park at Seaforth, was always an interesting place to go: lots of inbound American R.V`s boats, heavy-plant and helicopters.......and, lots of expensive British Marques ready to depart for warmer climes. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
