Saw one close up for the first time today passing through Bristol TM, they're awful ugly beasties! At least 66s and 67s are pretty unoffensive to the eye, seems F'liner have gone out of their way to create something 'eye catching'! Oh dear.....

Regulars on the great eastern one every day
they are impressive motors,train goes on for ever 30 freightliner bogies
pity they could not have put a fiberglass front on them to make them look better,I think
the sloped front on the gatwick express is a cover
I think the class 90 looks smart. mad thought they could make up a plastic class 52 front to fit over them

Had my first sight of a 70 yesterday at Duffield with a single wagon in tow heading north towards Sheffield: 70005.

Didn't have time to get my camera out as I was helping to extend the headshunt in the EVR Platform.

Best wishes,

John H-T.
