RMweb Gold TheSignalEngineer Posted February 12, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 12, 2014 Too bleak, wet and windy for a picture but 60007 was active on 6J46 from Peak Forest to Hope St. Peakstone today. Rolled past me at about 11:00 while I was waiting for a train at Marple. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clay Country Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 A couple photos taken on February 7 at Barrow-upon-Trent during a day of photography in the Derby/Burton area which produced seven different locomotive types (including six class 20s) - who says the modern scene is boring? First up, 60079 on the 0918 Hope - Walsall cement Thankfully the light improved for 60054 heading the 1040 Kingsbury - Humber empty fuel tanks 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steadfast Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 (edited) There's been some cracking shots on here recently, good to see it's not quite all DB red yet! I haven't posted to the thread for a while, so here's one from yesterday 60039 approaches Highworth Jn, Swindon working 6B33 Theale - Robeston, today getting a clear run through Swindon thanks to the HST it normally follows running late today 26/2/14 jo Edited February 27, 2014 by ewsjo 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Siddall Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 60092 with the Colnbrook tanks passes under the GWML at West Drayton with the return empties to Lindsay refinery, taken today at 14:19. Cheers Andy 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWT442 Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Good to see that more great pictures are being added to this thread! Here's a handful from me form the last few months, the Tug activity has perhaps been a little quiet down South. A noticeable exception was 60066 making it down on a car train to the docks. It didn't stick around, heading straight back to Halewood with the empties. First up is 60045 "The Permanent Way Institution" at Frost Lane, Hythe, working 6B93 Eastleigh Yard to Fawley empty tanks. This spot has just been cleared of a load of bushes and trees to allow this view. Useful as it's a 5 min walk from home! 23.01.2014 The next day, and under much gloomier skies, 60040 "The Territorial Army Centenary" is seen at Southampton Central working 6B44 Southampton Western Docks to Eastleigh Yard. 24.01.2014 The newest shot, 60059 "Swinden Dalesman" throbs through Denchworth working 6B33 Theale to Robeston bogie tanks. 04.03.2014 Andy. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pitbull1845 Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 There was a red 60 lurking in Llanwern Steel works yesterday when I went past on a railtour... Couldn't see the number though! Nice pictures Andy, when ever I go to Eastleigh the 60 there doesn't seem to be doing much so haven't been able to get any good pictures. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
class"66" Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Any idea which 10 as I personally would have the ones stored inside the diesel depot at Crewe. If they are indoors then it's better than ones left outdoors. plus I'm hoping that 60002 High Peak is brought out as it's my last one I need to see. Mathew Im sure the two 60s at Crewe DMD,have been moved now. I was there when two tone grey 60092 was moved,along with EWS 60038.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

eastwestdivide Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 One (no 24) turned up on the Tinsley-Immingham steel last week (8th). Not often that I've noticed one on this working, but to be fair, I don't often see it, as it seems to work only every other week on Saturdays.

ews60002 Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Evening all, Here's what I know about the rumour and the deal with the class 60's. They were going to have 4 of the 20 that Wabtec planned in having but that went down the pan and the deal never happened. Colas sat back and waited then dealt direct with DBS and have agreed a sale of 10 class 60's from DBS the first being 60087 the former Barry Needham loco. It is currently sat at Toton in an unserviceable state and will be going through the DBS super 60 programme very soon. Mat Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slightly off this topic but... 47815 - Great Western (the former Abertawe Landore) - That's had a recent repaint then as it's last appearance was in a slightly workworn albeit tidy (although ex First Great Western) BR 2 tone Green. Surprising as it was already one of Riviera's neater 47s in appearance, especially given the state the likes of 769 & 847 are still in.
