RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted August 25, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 25, 2013 (edited) As there is a thread on class 66's and another on the 60's how about one on the class 67's now that here are numerous liveries and just about the only diesel loco still seen on daily passenger services. So to start off here is 67004 this morning at Inverness so guess ing that this will be on this evenings Caledonian sleeper service Edited August 25, 2013 by roundhouse 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hornbyandbf3fan Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Great photos, hopefully I'll be seeing my first skip on the 30th at York, or would something else bring in the train from Bristol-York Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ews60002 Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Here's my contribution. 67029 was used to haul 2 60's from Crewe Diesel depot and a 66 from repair at Longport in Stoke. 3 different classes of loco in one pic. Fertis 56 EWS Grey 60 and DBS 67. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium newbryford Posted August 25, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 25, 2013 Here's a scene that can't be repeated. 67002 backing in to collect the coal empties at Clitheroe Cement works. The 67 is now in Arriva blue and the chimney has been demolished. Cheers, Mick 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rivercider Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 I was working as a roster clerk at Barton Hill when the 67s were introduced, one of our Instructor drivers had been over to Spain to be trained on them so he could carry out traction training for the rest of the Barton Hill drivers when they were delivered. I remember some of the drivers referring to them as 'skips' very early on as they were replacing their beloved 47s. By that time the 47s were pretty unreliable though, coolant leaks for example seemed to be a major problem. As a number of mail services originated from Bristol Temple Meads, and later Bristol Parkway and the vans were maintained at Barton Hill there were always several 67s about. At the weekend there could be 8 or 10 of them at the depot. On a Saturday morning 47765, 67011, 67019 and two other 67s are stabled at Barton Hill, 7/4/01 cheers 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ews60002 Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Here's one for the history books, It's not the two 67's (67026 and 67029) but it's what is behind them, and I don't mean the wagons. 10 Class 60's and 2 Euro Cargo Rail Class 08's 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugd1022 Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Always had a soft spot for Skips - there's something vaguely Germanic and Class 42 / 43 Warship-like about them (if you squint a bit and drink the right brand of cider!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium newbryford Posted August 26, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 26, 2013 (edited) How did that 67 get so dirty in Jim's picture? Probably on RHTT duty - Railhead treatment train.
