they arent the original WIPAC typle lights as fitted to the EWS66s and some FL66s, they seem to be updated versions, perhaps could be better illuminationwise than the orignal wipacs or the updated lighting versions?

is it just me thats wondering why they painted the roof green and didnt try some sort of cross design livery incorperating the standard freightliner styling and the bardon colour and branding

I believe that they have painted the roof green to say that it is a partnership between the two companies.

but it would have made more sense IMHO if they had done the freightliner cab ends the sort of yellow ends and the blue over the remaining body.. have the Freightliner logo and the Bardon logo

Very true but that's how they obviously chose to brand these 66's.

The newer design was spoiling the stylish aesthetics of the front end

Is this the 1st time the term stylish aesthetics and class 66 has been used together ?

this would be the ideal time for Bardon Agg to say stuff you FHH we are going back to EWS, so we can get 60s back down here where they belong instead of rotting away at Toton and Immingham yards
