Thanks @47286Dan

Thanks also to everyone who posted pictures of 60022 from yesterday, like all liveries it seems to have brought out some 'greats' and some 'yucks', personally I like the colour but I'm not so sure about the embellishments like the '60022' and 'MR' typefaces, look forward to seeing it out and about in the near future, makes you wonder what's in line for 60013 and 60060 when they're ready

60028 is scheduled to leave the Bluebell tomorrow as 2210 0Z28 East Grinstead Sidings to Willesden with 50026, the 60 is due to work a daytime private charter prior to departure, uncorroborated rumour suggests after a naming

60028 has been named Knockmealdown at the bluebell railway today.

Which I believe is the mountain range in the area of Ireland that Cappagh founder Tom Ferncombe came from, most fitting

My mate was talking to one of the DCR guys at Derby and he confirmed they have some surprises in the pipeline in terms of liveries of the next locos to emerge.

Well done for spoiling a surprise - watching it been covered up for a reason…..

The standard DC Rail grey isn’t that inspiring, so this is nice to hear.

 

[The Welsh Fish]

Anyone know the current states of 60013 at UKRL Loughborough and 60060 at Boden rail Colwick? Thanks

 

[SEtrains]

Anyone know the current states of 60013 at UKRL Loughborough and 60060 at Boden rail Colwick? Thanks

It is understood that work has recently recommenced on 60013 at Loughborough after a break and that 60060 has overtaken it in the overhaul scheme. 60060 is currently waiting for its power unit to be lifted back in which is understood to be nearing completion off site by Heritage Rail Ltd, after which work can commence on wiring and other internal work.

Thanks Dan, DCR have amassed quite a fleet now.

With 60022 now unveiled, are any other 60s owned by DCR awaiting work?

Thanks for the updates @47286Dan Dreadful connection this time more like Sinklink than Starlink

Just a minor point with the fleet TOPS list is that 60057 & 60075 have both been scrapped at Rectory Junction a while back, I guess the info hasn't been passed on to TOPS

Announced on the South Devon Railway facebook page that 60022 will be attending their Diesel Gala on 7th & 8th November

An uncorroborated suggestion elsewhere that 60009 has been moved indoors from store at Loughborough, if correct time will tell why....
