Looking Ex works in its recently applied Europorte livery, 66749 was diverted through Sutton Parkway todayon the daily Doncaster - Toton  working, due to engineering work in the Rotherham area. This working usually runs as 6M73 but today was only a loco move and ran as 0M73.

66523 and 66517 ( on temporary bogies ) at Midland Road earlier today.

attachicon.gif66517.JPG

 

Fantastic photos! Well done!

 

To my knowledge 501 and 532 have had their bogies overhauled so far and 517 and 523 are the third and fourth locos to receive the same treatment.

 

I think one of the new sheds (the furthest to the back of the depot) is going to be specifically dedicated for overhauling the 66s bogies.
