Class 66 photos


Recommended Posts

Sorry but concentrated on 91’s with a cheeky little break on way home from 2/7 meeting. 
 

Nice to see something more colourful than usual suspects at Brocklesby. 
 

Colourful one on a Stobart working & other empty Plasmor blocks

Fresh out the box 66 on the Round Oak to Margam today, an almost silver silencer.

Intersting how the prototype are following the model! For many years Lima, Bachmann and Dapol issued Models with silver silencers, despite the prototypes all being built with them in a rusty finish steel. It's only the last few years of repaints that have seen silver silencers appear at the Toton paintshop.

 

There may have been odd previous repaints of non DB locos that have gained silver silencers from Eastleigh or other paint shops, but they are few and far between.

Cheers,

I was looking at pics of 66101 earlier tonight trying to find out when it was repainted into DB red, for a friend's Scottish layout as it's a RETB loco.

IIRC, 101 was the first 66 to gain DBS red

 

2011.......

 

So it's good to go for a 2010-2012 timeframe.

 

I didn't think it was that long since I did my 66101 in red ( before Bachmann then released it)

66152 was the first, it (like 59206 and the red 37s) has Gill Sans numbers.

66097 was June 2011 (per flickr link https://flic.kr/p/9WvTZq ) , and is also an RETB loco. It currently has a Highland stag on one side too.
