Absolutely no thought seems to have gone into it. Presumably that large slab of black is to match the ex Grand Central Mk4s so that they don't need to repaint the coaches. I think it was done with modellers in mind. Easiest repaint in the world, just get a DBS red 67 and paint the sides gloss black. Job done! Damn sight easier than trying to put the large writing transfers of the DB red message liveries on the ribbed sides! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steadfast Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 One from today, due to cancellations and late running I got to be in the right place at the right time. I saw 66734 today as well, and it's definitely a different colour, on the verge of pink. Linked from my Flickr: DB Cargo's purple tribute to the Queen, 67007, sits in Bath waiting to depart with 1O92 for London Victoria. The passengers on board this VSOE Pullman train had visited the city for the Christmas markets. Departure was delayed by 15 minutes due to a criminal attempting to flee the police by trespassing! Had my passenger train home not been running late, I'd have missed both 67007 and the excitement! Jo 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Gilbert Posted December 8, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 8, 2022 007 at speed earlier in the day..Off topic but that 15 minutes is a bit better than the 2 hour delay to Sir Nigel G earlier in the week reportedly caused by a delayed coal delivery at Bristol... 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold 08221 Posted January 5, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 5, 2023 Happy 2023! First photo of the new year - 67010 passes Bamford bridge in Uttoxeter on the 0925 Toton to Crewe LE working on Thursday 5 January 2023. The loco stood at the signal near to the signal box before being hand signalled past with the signal at danger - an interesting sight! 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CWJ Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 Some of my skipographs for your enjoyment (or otherwise)... EFE Rail's weathering artist strikes again. Or, 67003 at Doncaster works on 23rd December 2009. 67008 prepares to depart from Manchester Piccadilly with an infrastructure monitoring train on 7th May 2014. At the rear of the previous photo's train was 67025, sporting a few bumper stickers it would seem. In December 2010 the Cardiff to Taunton stopper was being operated by top-and-tailed Class 67s. 67017 is seen passing Creech St Michael (taken on film and scanned from a print, sorry it's a bit grainy). 67018 'Keith Heller' hauls the Northern Belle set through York on 15th June 2010. Cheers, Will 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWJ Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 Just a couple more: 67005 heads the Northern Belle out of York on 2nd July 2010... ...and 006 brings up the rear. It comes to something when a royal loco has a plastic sticker for a nameplate... am I just being old-fashioned? Cheers, Will 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold big jim Posted March 7, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 7, 2023 Another unusual one, pair of 67s on a chiltern service, running in multi I had a traction motor flashover on this train after snow got into it, limped it into Marylebone before taking it to Wembley where it got dumped in the turn back siding as it couldn’t get into the depot for some reason ATW in Wembley stadium station! This was an additional service that ran from wrexham to Wembley for a footy match taking place there (March 24th 2013) 67018 in crewe, pic by my dad, I had bought it up from Wembley and was taking it to the ETD in crewe 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the undergrowth, A well frequented photo location in ''fine weather''. Strange at this spot someone had lifted several cable trough covers on the railway side. Must be cameras in the trees !
