why is 60099 causing such excitement - what am I missing about it?

It's the first of the UKRL rebuilds for Cappagh/DCR, totally stripped and rebuilt at Loughborough after its years of careful and considerate DB storage at Toton, it will be followed by 60013 currently being worked on at UKRL Loughborough and 60022 currently at Boden Rail Rectory Junction, 60060 is also at Boden for assessment with another nine stored at Loughborough either for rebuild or spares donation as required

The only wider significance is for those of us for who love Class 60's! Always been my favourite class of loco, and given how few of them are in operation at the moment, the fact that DCR are actively working to put some back in to traffic is exciting to see.

thanks - was really checking it was the last X or the first Y that meant the loco had some wider significance. It is great Cappagh have rebuilt this loco. Hopefully they can do more because that would be a sign of business growth

Presumably once they've successfully done the first few, it then becomes quicker/cheaper to do subsequent ones (and make better informed decisions about which ones are worth investing in getting back to work). That might include for other operators too?

Yes, initial one usually takes the longest. Then the work should speed up

I would imagine that having set up a supply line for 60099 will speed things up considerably for the rest
