Class 67 New Livery

[Dreadnought]

and I will, they didnt paint a 66, because a 66 cant be used on the company train or passenger workings, im guessing DB want this as their "show off" loco, or maybe Mr Heller just rates 67`s over 66`s

This maybe the case, however I fail to see what relevance this has to my light hearted (ie humourous & not meant to be taken seriously) post on how it would be more appropriate to put a maple leaf on a Canadian built loco.

As for 66s, yes they may be predominantly a freight loco but they can and do get used on passenger workings as and when required, including charters, rescuing failures and even standing in for a 67 on the Taunton - Cardiff service last year.

Yes, but when they are, there has to be another loco able to provide ETS.

..such as a 67, this is not a disscusion on maple leaves but more of "why didnt they paint a 66"

Err, no its not. There is already a 66 painted anyway. It was an off the cuff light hearted remark that the Maple Leaf would have been appropriate on a 66 (why not use 66152 as it is already in DB Schenker livery) as it was built in Canada.

I love the 67s, but don't really like D.B., but I have to sing this:

Your beautiful,your beautiful thats true.....
