MRC summer diesel gala 15th/16th June

66623 is advertised as attending in its "Lovely" new orange livery, if this is right it's the first visit of a Freightliner loco to a Pres event since the D6700 - 37515 interface incident many moons ago, very interesting if its true

 

It was announced last night on MRB's Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/MidlandRai...522381712067/2404284746269144/?type=3&theater

 

Pretty groundbreaking if it comes off, for many years it's been absolutely unheard of to bag a Freightliner loco for a heritage event!

PLEG now also showing 66136 rare for tours?? And 66066 definitely not rare for tours (or at least BLS tours). Hopefully more to follow, 70?

 

Yesterday and today MRB's Twitter announced the following visitors

• DB Cargo 60066 & 66136
  
• DRS 66431 Saturday Only

 

Ying ying!

 

66623 now not on the pleg list, must have fallen through
