Very Sad shots

So Many stored locos 37 56 60s not a good advert for UK railways

Well EWS Railways

Hoping the 66s are going to France so the 60s can live again

Apparently EWS are going to try and have as many as 96 active 60s by the end of the summer. They are currently working on many stored examples, I think.

And what a shame the loadhaul 122 has been left to become such a mess!

96 running 60s... heck, thats a bit optimistic, i should think that more than 4 have already been quite heavily robbed to keep the rest going... Wouldn't put money on it though.

Interesting pics, very sad to see 37672 laid up rotting - ex cornish beastie

damn b*****ds,leaving beasts like that to rust

Yeah, 96 is the optimistic end. Even the most pessimistic ones still seem to be going for between 85 and 90 though, so not bad.

EWS has stored a 66.

66047 i think

Its been out for ages so they have stored it till it can be repaired...

Lest hope the same problems kills atleast 3/4s of the fleet off...
I wouldnt mind the odd 66 now and again...

Great pics!

Anyone else notice the 60 without bodyside numbers???

Did it have a number on the front if so did you get it?

SCOTTLOWES · Post by **SCOTTLOWES** » Sun Jul 03, 2005 6:28 am

it was 60100

66047 has wheel problems or something, apparently it was stored for 6 months before, and has never really been quite 'right' from delivery.
