GBRF 66 308

[LMS 4F]

I saw the Rylstone to Hull through Castleford today hauled by what looked like a newly painted 66 308.
Am I right in assuming this is an import from Europe ? As far as I recall when I chased numbers the 66 300 series ended at 305 and these five locos were short lived in their original owners livery

Yes 66306 upwards are imports from Europe. Think up to 66315 so far

There's already a thread about these here: https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/european-class-66s-to-uk.209257/page-9

Thank you for the update. I will have to improve my search skills as I did look but obviously failed miserably.
