The new kids on the block have got some crazy talent!
If any of the community would like us to have a go at anything specific, please get in touch.
I indeed did, just a little suggestion - in a polite manner of course. Probably won't happen because hey, beggars can't be choosers.

Creative Rail's ECML route perhaps, 58's were common in their early years on the fly-ash workings plus of course the class was built at Donny. The Oxford end of GWML also on MGR workings to/from Didcot. And maybe some of the plethora of Southern Region routes we have, as post-96 many were based (on paper) at Eastleigh and Stewarts Lane.
Regards,

I used to see them down at Weston-super-Mare too, so Bristol - Exeter would be an idea?

According to articles in Traction magazine class 58s were used all over the country by the private operaters who inherited or bought them after sectorisation. hopefull we shall get Railfreight, coal sector and either Ews or mainline liveries. I am not sure if much class 58s were ever used in Scotland but a few must have made it up the WCML to mossend yard over the years (pls correct me if I am wrong)

I think the furthest north they got was Blair Atholl on a tour,in the later EWS years they did become a lot more common in south wales too usually workings out of either Eastleigh or Westbury
EDIT i think that Aberdeen may have been reached also
