RMweb Gold beast66606 Posted November 5, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 5, 2013 Splendid - a new one for me to chase - I think 718 is also in that livery. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold beast66606 Posted November 5, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 5, 2013 Apparently 66718 is in black with an old map on one side and a new map on the other. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

St. Simon Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Hi, The Railway Centre has pictures of the two here: http://www.railway-centre.com/november-2013.html The liveries look like ones that are more applied to passenger stock rather than freight locos, not sure if they work very well with the rob sides of the 66.

RMweb Premium Banger Blue Posted November 5, 2013 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted November 5, 2013 Prefer 66721's white livery to the black on 66718, horrendous! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold beast66606 Posted November 6, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 6, 2013 I'm happy they're different - hopefully they'll drop onto the Felixstowe 'liners before too long. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glorious NSE Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 The white definately comes over better, I'd like to see the other sides though if they are different each side... Note the black one has "LT museum" logo's on it, so yeah, a LE model seems pretty likely! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Revolution Ben Posted November 6, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 6, 2013 Hi all, I think they look great. But the maroon roof on the white one makes it look like it started life as an EWS loco, rather than GBRf! cheers Ben A. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eastleigh were probably painting a few of them and they picked up the wrong roof after fitting the sound decoder.* * yes, I do know all about Bachmann 66s and how the body / roof is one piece etc. etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Banger Blue Posted November 6, 2013 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted November 6, 2013 66721 One side has the modern 2013 Underground Map, the other side has the 1933 Underground Map. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy P Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 The red roof appears to me to have less to do with EWS than a nod toward an A stock scheme. I used to think that if you'd seen one 66 you'd seen them all! RP Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
