European Railroad Discussion > EMD Class 66 VarietyDate: 05/10/22 14:57 EMD Class 66 Variety Author: exhaustED The UK's dominant freight traction type, the ubiquitous class 66 is often criticised for being too common... but there is still a lot of variation in paint schemes/liveries as well as in the train types that they handle. A short stint on the west coast main line last Thursday, just south of Crewe in Cheshire produced 3 southbound freights with 3 class 66s in very different colour schemes.
1. GBRf class 66 no. 66747, named 'Made in Sheffield' and wearing a soecial customer's paint scheme leads a loaded limestone train. Edited 3 time(s). Last edit at 05/10/22 15:07 by exhaustED.

If you search on the internet for 'ERSR 6601' etc. you'll see it. We had about five well-known train-photographers at that company, mostly very devoted to our trains and customer/owner Maersk. And trying to make our trains interesting to photographers. Date: 05/11/22 10:44 Re: EMD Class 66 Variety Author: exhaustED petmew Wrote:

A heavy loaded train of stone reaching the summit of Llanvihangel Bank, it's about as noisy as a 66 in good order on a dry rail gets. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 05/11/22 22:42 by 86235.
