kevpeo Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 Not looking good though. A load of the France based 66's are supposed to be on their way back. Kev. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irishswissernie Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 84 and 39 were at Peak Forest on Tuesday 21 September, 84 headed west on stone through New Mills South Junc (took the New Mills Central line) on 22 Sept and 39 had gone from Peak Forest when I was there that afternoon. 66138 took 10 minutes to shift a train out of the sidings at Peak Forest and then shut down (probably to cool off!) blocking both running lines when nearly at the summit. It eventually re-started the train. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWT442 Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 A guy I subscribe to on YouTube has this video of '99 outside of Toton. Doesn't look too bad! Andy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mophead Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 Good shot of 071 Jo. Great news to hear that the 60 fleet is on the up. I wonder if 60099 will emerge in a new coat of paint? And if so what colour?! Does anyone know if 099 has had any refurbished parts added as it seems to have been worked on for a while? Or is it just a patch up and return from store? If today’s TOPs report is correct there are 4 Brush Beasts at Peak Forest, must be a while since that last happened! I presume 39 must have an exam coming up and needs replacing but not sure if 84 is the same. That may explain it, perhaps someone on here can confirm. 60039 was working 6m22 hunslet-tunstead on friday 24th wasnt sounding to healthy when it set off from the loop at marsden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coachmann Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 Tug 99 has been outshopped in Tata steel livery Seeing as they are being rapidly withdrawn, I can't wait for Goodbye livery, See you Around livery and Auf Wiedersehen Pet livery, but Ta ta is a start. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clay Country Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 According to the WNXX forum, 015 is also getting a lick of paint. A Tata duo perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merfyn Jones Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 Seeing as they are being rapidly withdrawn, I can't wait for Goodbye livery, See you Around livery and Auf Wiedersehen Pet livery, but Ta ta is a start. Out of curiosity, I counted those visible from the bank at Toton this morning, total 48% of the class. 99 looks impressive in new paint compared to the shabby ones, the first with DB S branding Merfyn.

Arpleymodeller Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 60099 is not the first with DB S branding,as 60040 and 60074 have had the cab side logos since 2008 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant wait to see a clearer shot of it outside Toton I just hope it isn't rushed back into traffic too quickly just to promote the new livery and end up failing on its first outing like 37419 and 67018 did!

RMweb Premium John M Upton Posted September 30, 2010 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 30, 2010 Is it just me or are there an awful lot of bubbles and bulges (in a 1970's Ford Cortina attacked with Halfords filler kind of stylee) on the body side of 60099? Looks a bit of a rushed bodge job to me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steadfast Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Another batch allox load bank testing today B) Very interesting - thanks for sharing that Dave! I'm sorry to do it again to you all guys, here's another tug on the Mendip stone, captured earlier today Making it a pair of 60s to work a Mendip stone in the last fortnight, 60074 'Teenage Spirit' powers past Great Cheverell sounding excellent hauling 6M20 from Whatley to St Pancras. The orange RMC hoppers do go well with the blue loco. cheers jo 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely the best weather of the week was yesterday! Still, it's given the car a wash cheers jo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magic_monkey09 Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 great pics jo B) glad the 60's have been having bit of a 'spurt' lately what with the repainting of 60099 and up to 15 examples active at one time all good news on that front of course with the exception of the ones on the tender list! Can easily see how engine hours and lack of maintenance has led to their downfall but not so long ago there was talk of their withdrawal being due to them being not very fuel efficient compared with 66/0's which certainly is a mystery as both classes do 1MPG with the Sheds only beating TUGS on actual fuel capacity rather than efficiency.

I had the same loco the previous day too - I took it dead in train on 6O41 Westbury to Eastleigh (train loco 66058), then dumped the 66 in Eastleigh yard and drove 60074 back to Westbury on 6V41. Deep joy! B) Regards Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
