RMweb Premium newbryford Posted May 20, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 20, 2014 Another livery beckons for 60087 - the first of the Colas fleet. On it's first test run from overhaul. https://www.flickr.com/photos/37923727@N04/14044070887/in/photolist-m3iv6J-jg7LHW-np2wZe-cpaWdL-nAfAyc-jNYMYX-jAjaPR-mcvNmN-knQta2-knNLU4-ny6qiy-jMrcYP-jMwTKy Cheers, Mick 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully, I can take another pic of her from the same spot soon. Cheers, Mick 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkea1 Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Well just announced on Welsh TV news that the MURCO Milford Haven refinery will be closing after a consultation period,,,,so no more Robeston workings, get your photos while you can! Possible management buyout has also been reported, so all hope for the Robeston tanks is not (yet) lost! Cheers Alastair 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cornish trains jez Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 I'm not a fan of this livery but it actually suits the class 60 really well. Top stuff! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
'CHARD Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 I'm not a fan of this livery but it actually suits the class 60 really well. Top stuff! Completely agree Jez. The geometric style of the 60 suits the angular Colas thing really well, as you say. Verdict here: Likeee! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

49395 Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 The geometric style of the 60 suits the angular Colas thing really well. If they'd masked it differently it could almost have been a repaint in Loadhaul colours... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted June 2, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 2, 2014 Hope the rest of them in that shot get sorted back in to mainline use. I think those parked on the Up sidings have seriously succumbed to the copper and steel fairies and are highly unlikely to return without very serious moolah being spent on them. There are rumours circulating that only 5 are initially being returned to traffic for Colas with 5 more waiting in the wings. A further 10 are earmarked for Colas for "spares or repair", but are still in a DBS WQDA pool and not yet transferred to the COLS pool. Cheers, Mick off to strip a Hornby 60 sometime in the next week or two, probably to become 60021. Either 60021 or 60076 is likely to be the next one back for Colas 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes a great sight and sound heading up the grade off the 99 arches viaduct and up the bank though Westgate. I saw it last night with 25 wagons on.
