Silver 60.


Looking nice and bright in Bescot Down Local is 60006. A couple of these locos were painted in Corus livery around 2000 and always looked smart. The Corus colours replaced the previous British Steel livery.

Superb that is. Perhaps not a wise choice for a freight loco but looks great when clean ! Not seen it myself in that livery, as it caught fire about four years ago and has been stored at Toton...

I saw them both in blue, they were ace. But the silver was naff and I never saw them before I finished off in 2002. Did see a glimpse of one of the scrappers at Toton though, think it was 006 acshully.
