    The Fall & Rise of the 60's ( was The End of the Tugs?)

    I wouldn't say 60s are 'unrepairable' as their builder,Brush Traction is still trading and anyone with the money that was needed to overhaul a 60 could get a 60 overhauled to 'as new condition'.However this wont happen as the locos would have no requirement in todays current railfreight market.True about the 37/4s though,maybe a use for them may materialise in the future,a stop gap passenger service like the Rhymney loco hauled,unlikely though! ;)

     

    I know from chatting to a DRS driver that they like the 37/4's because they are so versitile and can do pretty much anything from ECS moves, flasks to railtours. Sadly the 60's will probably meet their makers as they are mosly un usuable now :( Shame really... must get out to snap some of the remainers bfore they all dissapear :P

    It also needs to be considered that traincrews need route knowledge of the journey they are taking. I have seen tours beofore with a DBS 66 at one end and a FL 66 at the other. This may need 2 traincrews yes, but i am unsure whether DB Schenker specify it has to be one of their crew on their locos as most if not all FL drivers sign 66's.
