Can't disagree with that :D Personally I'm still having monthly sessions with a physchiatrist after having driven 47627 in 1997, and that was definitely no celebration ......

Had to look that one up, Oh my word - I really do see your point!

I'm still disappointed with that loco etc. I caught up with it on platform 1 at Crewe one day, and didn't get any chocolate samples.

haven't seen any pictures recently but presumably EPR 050 & 086 are still in (almost) one piece

These were the most recent pictures I could find of those two on Flickr (both locos have been deleted from TOPS):

Condition of 60050 on arrival by road on May 17th:

60050 outside the shed on 4th June:

60086 road movement on August 1st:

I enjoyed this video by Donny Pete. If you skip to the 8 minute mark it shows the 6D60 move from Toton plus several depot movements after arrival at Colwick (including DCR 60022). I was surprised to see 60062 is in working order - it looks rather smart in plain red:

There is a photo just posted in the Class 60 facebook group of the conditions 60050 and 60086 outside Colwick today. In various states of component recovery. Looks like 60066 on the siding in the background and another uid 60 possibly as well.

Possibly 024 as that came with 066 and grey 074

* Edit - I'm wrong, another set of photos show it's 001 and is between 100 on the stops and 066

More 60s coming in, presuming 3 more, how much space is left in Rectory now with all these new arrivals?
Click to expand...

ROMIC 20007 & 20205 have been there since 24th July so must surely be well advanced with whatever maintenance they're undergoing, DCRs 60022 will have to be gone before long if it's to be at the SDR Gala at the beginning of November and 60050 & 60086 look as though they're ready for the cutter, should be some space soon



** Updated Sunday 20th September **


60063 worked 1504 0N60 Rectory Junction to Crewe



** Updated Monday 21st September **


60063 worked 1039 0K61 Crewe to Basford Hall Yard and 1156 6K61 to Bradwell Up Sidings

Suggested on WNXX that tomorrows 0M60 Toton to Rectory may include 60011 which now has paperwork intact as an EPR loco

== Doublepost prevention - post automatically merged: ==

I see 37218 and 37901 are apparently going to toton to fetch 60s, do we know what 60s it is?

Railcam shows 37901, 60007, 60010, 60011 and 37218, but 011 seems to have been added by a different person than who added the other 4

== Doublepost prevention - post automatically merged: ==

011 has now been removed and a note saying only 37901, 60010, 60007 and 37218 on TOPS
