Googled and now I know but why are they being painted red.

They are a class 60 and a class 90 that have been (or are about to be) repainted into DB Schenker red.

Isn't 019 in scotrail sleeper livery? seems an odd choice as nothing has changed regarding the sleeper haulage.

It may have to wait a little while as 66001 is currently in scotland at the moment

Very smart, DB red does indeed suit the Class 60 and the 59/66s for that matter!

It'll be nice to see 60001 in this livery, looking smarter than I last saw it and overhauled. Should be out end of May. Can't remember which one is due out next (might be 60062)

Not quite on topic, but I'm curious to know what parameters are being used to decide which loco's are worthy of refurbishment?

90036 moved to Toton for a repaint according to wnxx.com - also showing as 'At Toton on maintenance' on Class 90 loco group website. Obviously it would not go there for routine maintenance so it looks like it's true.

Gutted, never saw it in grey and was hoping it'd be on one of the ECML sleeper diverts on Sunday nights. No chance of that now!
