Class 69 No. 69001 for GB Railfreight.

Agree with you Matt. I like that livery
Interesting isn`t it how much different colour can make a locomotive more attractive (or less)

NEVER better than THIS though...

 

Absolutely agree with you John. That`s a very fine livery for a diesel locomotive. A very nice picture, and even with snow.

As do others, I was pleased with the photo from 60017, but where was 34G please? My Summer 1959 and Winter 1961 books only list up to 34F (Grantham).

 

You’d get on well with my Dad John, everything must be BR Loco Green, none of this Large Logo, Railfreight Red Stripe or Triple Grey Subsector rubbish (as he calls it!) I think the only time he liked a modern livery was a few years ago was when 47807/17 were painted Porterbrook Purple and Grey, and even then he only liked the grey end from the front because ‘They look a bit like Lion’

 

Finsbury Park, with sub shed Hornsey.

 

The racehorse stable

 

Absolutely, prefer BR liveries (pre-blue) on everything! @Victor is a Porterbrook purple man...especially on Deltics!

 

That explains the white cab roof then

 

Richard Clinnik posted these earlier, anyone for the 69 that thinks it’s a ‘thousand’?

 

Hope its the 69 that is coming to the Swanage Diesel Gala then.

 

A 1000 watt?

I took it to mean a Class 52 Western eg D1000

 

Named "Western Transplant" perhaps?

But is does look rather fine.

Cheers, Neil

 

Well yes, but I couldn’t see any real visual similarity?

I think you'll find the connection relates to Bob Tiller GBRf CME

 

Is he still involved with the DEPG? I also read that it’s his decision regarding each loco’s livery.
Must admit I do rather like this latest one.

 

D1501, a 34G regular. Wouldn't mind £1 for each time I saw her in my younger spotting days. A good livery too.
