    I have read that this 66 has also been donated or should that be claimed (???) by the NRM when its finished its commercial life.

    As to how 'special' it is, I would say that as the final member of a class of loco that has revolutionised & dominated diesel traction in the UK for the last 18 years, it has as good a reason to become part of the National Collection as some of the members of the collection.

    He can influence EWS (DBC) as much has he likes, the 66 is part of the GBRf fleet. :)

    Surely something in a made up pseudo livery of an organisation that never owned it, should not be in a national museum. That would not be a very good way to tell the story of the class 66 and it's operators. Maybe this 'shed' will be given a proper livery in a year or two. Creosote?
