European Railroad Discussion > A new owner for 10 class 60s

It looks as though the on-off-on saga of DBS disposing of a number of class 60s has come to a conclusion with the sale of 10 60s to Colas. I don't know how much work will be needed to restore them to health but it is good news that a further 10 of the big heavy haul beasties are to see a new lease of life

Good news! I like the way the Class 60's look. Should look in good in Colas Rail paint.

I guess someone needs to ride a Red Arrow bus on the A52 and get us better picture of what's going on with the Class 60's. There was buttload of them there last September. Unfortunately it was starting to get dark and it was one of the few breaks in heavy traffic where the bus driver could really roll going toward Nottingham.

Some of those have sat in storage for nigh on 10 years now.
