EPR (Europhoenix Rail) - Class 60s

[Trainman40083]

I would think several 60, previously purchased by EPR are no longer needed, the moment they managed to acquire the Super 60s

If im correct the wensleydale

No, not correct. It was bought by an individual.

Some 60s were always going to have to fall on the sword for others to keep going. EPR is the best chance most of them have in ever seeing the mainline again.

A delivery of more 60s for EPR could be happening within the next week or so. 60050 and 60086 have been stripped of all useful parts and have been roaded to scrap today. Photo credits to Paul Seaman (off Facebook)

Any ideas where they have gone for scrap?

According to WNXX this morning they have been moved to Radway Green to join the 12 long term residents there

60062 has been named 'Olivia Grace' at Colwick, presumably family related again, I thought it had been fitted with new style light clusters but has been reported as still sporting the originals

** Scheduled Sunday - 1515 0N60 Colwick to Longport Down Sdgs & 1815 0R37 return
** Scheduled Monday - 1033 0K61 Longport Down Sdgs to Basford Hall Yd - 1156 6K61

Could that 0N60 be one of the new 60s going with a 37 for support, then 0R37 is that coming back?

37512 has been at Longport Down Sidings since Monday 28th September so would assume that this will be swapped over tomorrow afternoon and go back to Colwick.

But is it secure from people who might take parts off them.

It has been pallaisade fenced off from the main line so is technically secure.There is now a gate that needs to be unlocked when accessing the main line.There is also a large side gate to allow access for locomotives arriving by road transport.

There's got to be at least one 60 on 0N60 tomorrow to work Mondays 0K61 to Basford Hall

There is an 0N61 on Monday Morning at 10.33 from Longport Down Sidings to Crewe Basford Hall so this might be the 60 parking up at Longport instead of Crewe overnight,but as you say there could be two arriving with one as a spare.
