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

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.

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

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.

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.

Have 60050 and 60086 actually arrived at Radway Green yet? I called up on Saturday and the security chap said he had been there all day and nothing had arrived.There were no overhanging branches on the ground either which is a good sign that something has arrived.
Yes , they can be seen arriving into the Radway green site in this TikTok video.

Would there be space in Rectory for more 60s after 56045 moves out tomorrow?

Should be loads of space now with the recent departures of 20007, 20205, 60022, 56103, 60050 & 60086, looks as though 60022 may be arriving on Saturday along with 60063 on Friday but stacks of room compared with recently

Looks like Murray is the surname? Perhaps someone can advise as I the picture I have seen is not clear enough.

Yes got intel that it’s apparently ‘David Murray’ alongside 60062 being ‘Olivia Grace’, but I think that one had already been said.

You aren't. WR doesn't have and never has owned any 60's. They did store 2 for a private individual for a while on a commercial basis but then they left for storage in Kinsley.

Oh wait yes I think Steve Beniston/Tractor Factor had them and then did nothing with them sold them to EPR

Great news about 60084, that’s the one I’d like to see back in action again.

Looks as though the consensus is that it's actually 'Daniel Murray' so could be two forenames or one and a surname
EPR have reportedly been assessing the 12 locos at Radway Green and have been recovering parts, 60012, 60077 & 60084 are considered to be worth retaining which is why they have been re-registered on TOPS

Excellent news that 60012 60077 and 60084 may return at some future point.

I’m not an expert of any sort but this photo of 077s cab off of trainlogger (credits to CLJ_Spotter) really just isn’t promising, especially when there are super 60s lying around. I have heard that there was mention of EPR removing parts from locos at the quarry, is there a miscommunication of some sort or are these 3 locos definitely booked for reinstatement?

The whole package will have been inspected not just the removable bits from the cab

On the other hand to do a proper repair job you would need to remove most of what is missing so has saved a bit of fitter time. I presume 60012/77/84 would need to be on TOPS if they were taken to Colwick for spares removal? Or is that not required?

It could be that the three mentioned have bodywork that's in far better condition than most and as @37114 said they'll be totally stripped internally if chosen for rebuild, have to agree that the Super60s at Toton seem the obvious choice but we don't know what future plans EPR have for fleet size
