paul2001 Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Much froth was had on Thursday 28th as Army 60040 worked 6C02 Crewe-Carlisle and 6K05 return (passing within 30 feet of my back door). My local gen-group had reports every 10 mins, or so it seemed! Pity I couldn't arrange my work around getting a phot of it. Any date as to when 007 will be in traffic? Cheers, Mick Past 10' from my signal box :D 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just manged to get the camera out and pointed in the right direction as it throbbed by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormbringer Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 I drove past Toton on the A52 earlier. What a sad sight, the line of tugs sitting there rotting, particularly 60081 nearest the road. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach bogie Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 60 011 first visit to Teesside in it's new livery working a very short 6V02 Tees Yard to Margam passing sad remains of TE. It had previously worked up light engine from Rotherham after release from Toton.

Not sure if the the Westerleigh will run tomorrow (today?) as it doesn't always on a Saturday, but 6B33 is 60099 again if anyone's out and about cheers jo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'CHARD Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Sources: "60013 (WCAI) en route Toton looks terminal with reports that like 60081 it has redistributed the internal parts of its engine onto the outside." That's incoming from an I-phone but has all the hallmarks of a WNXX news report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Ray Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 After a year and a half of this topic, I couldn't find this question (I tried searching), but I did find one or two youtube comments that agree with me... Is it generally acknowledged (in the rail-fanpress, or even by the general public) that the Class 60s look rather 'angry' anthropomorphically? If so was there any thought to repositioning the offending windshield wipers? (Alhough, if you reversed their direction but kept them top mounted, the 60s might simply looked 'surprised' instead.)

RMweb Premium Welly Posted May 30, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 30, 2011 ^^^ To be honest with you, in the 20 years that I have known the class 60s, I have never noticed the position of the windscreen wipers and their anthromorphically angry look! They were not conspicuous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you mean, although one of the cabs of 60085 has the windscreen wipers always facing the sides of the windscreen. The same was said about the grids, the horn grill gave them a 'mean' look.
