RMweb Premium newbryford Posted October 28, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 28, 2012 What - no parcel tape around the windows.............? The repaint would've been a perfect opportunity to remove the diagonal creases in the cabsides, but otherwise, nicely done. Cheers, Mick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon47603 Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Hi Guys. On Saturday evening. I spent a couple of hours unloading at Royal Mails Park Royal Distribution Centre, near Wembley Freight Yard. Saw a few engineering trains go past. However as I was putting my truck on a bay, a southbound Ballast Train came past Top/N/Tailed by two Class 70's. roughly about 20:30. They were dropping down the bank, taking the tunnel that goes under the WCML. Not sure where it ends up though, I suspect it loops round to Acton? Would anyone know what the Locos were and what working they were on? Ta Simon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium newbryford Posted November 22, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 22, 2012 Latest RUMOUR to resurface is that it's a demonstrator for GBRf. (Although FL completed the acceptance paperwork for 099) WNXX reported a couple of days ago that 70099 will be for GBRf, working the Doncaster coal circuit.

ac1874 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 I saw a 70 in Freightliner colours moving at Brush around 1pm today, gates were open so I assume it was going to pull out onto the mainline. Didn't see the number. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold beast66606 Posted April 30, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 30, 2013 70099 has just left Loughborough heading for Crewe behind 66536 routed via Stenson, Burton, Alrewas, Lichfield and the WCML http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/O82546/2013/04/30/advanced Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold beast66606 Posted April 30, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 30, 2013 It seems to be struggling to get out of the gate at the moment - or the realtime info is not updating ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium newbryford Posted April 30, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 30, 2013 (edited) Apparently routed via Leicester and Nuneaton to Crewe. No frothing yet over it's colour scheme? It's allocated to DHKT pool at the mo, so that's Freighliner stored. Cheers, Mick Edited April 30, 2013 by newbryford Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

6Y99 Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Good Luck to GB Having it on a coal circuit if I had a pound for the ammount of times I had to arrange assistance for a 70 I would be a rich man Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium newbryford Posted April 30, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 30, 2013 Still in green, but eventually destined for repainting at Eastleigh http://www.flickr.com/photos/william37425/8697020018/ Cheers, Mick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold beast66606 Posted May 1, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 1, 2013 It seems to be struggling to get out of the gate at the moment - or the realtime info is not updating ! For those who use realtime, this is a good example of what happens when a train goes "off route" - the updates stop happening until the train gets back onto it's original route - one to watch for when out in the field waiting for trains. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium newbryford Posted August 2, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 2, 2013 (edited) Apparently routed via Leicester and Nuneaton to Crewe. No frothing yet over it's colour scheme? It's allocated to DHKT pool at the mo, so that's Freighliner stored. Cheers, Mick 70099 now allocated to MBDL pool - private owner locos, diesel. It's due to move from Eastleigh to Cardiff soon, but still no real confirmation as to it's livery or use, although the low odds are on Colas........ (Any comment Jim?) [flame suit on] I hope it replaces 56's on the Carlisle run and then send it via the S&C! Cheers, Mick Edited August 2, 2013 by newbryford Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
