Excellent video as always 👍

If it's a public footpath or byway then how's it trespass? They are within their rights to be on it even if it's for spotting

Magnificent to see and hear . childhood memories of class 55 locomotive’s still running on York lines in the 70s near where I lived as a child. The sound and the plumes of smoke were quite the spectacle.

I believe that and I am expecting that EMD/Progress Rail are to rebuilt/repurpose these 12 Class 60's to something that what become of the Class 56's into Class 69's. But with 60014 at Longport and talks of EMD/PR are to use the more compact Caterpillar C-175 units into these Class 60's as the EMD 710 power unit is 4 inches too tall to fit into the Class 60 shell without altering the roof profile. Whilst the original Mirrlees unit is Euro 3 emissions. The C-175 is Euro 6/Tier 4 which makes it more compliant when going through cities that have ULEZ restrictions. I am not even going to speak about that silly idea of a steam/hydrogen idea that popped up a while ago because to me. That doesn't seem logical when we have a much better and cheaper Euro 6 alternative available that would extend the life of these Class 60 shells for up to 20 years. I am still keeping an eye on 60014 for the meantime though as that to me seems to be the most logical choice. Great video as well by the way. Peter.

What make if cars are in the compound. Toyota? for export. Never knew Toton was used for that

Any way to know when the road journeys will be? I've seen a couple of them passing through Alsager just before the final destination (a few weeks ago). Would be nice to know when exactly the others will pass through.

It seems strange how any of these locos can be cost effectively returned to operational readiness given that the reason for their storage was presumably due to defects that were deemed uneconomical to fix at the time.

I can never understand why they don't put certain Class Loco's in 1 Area (Stored & a separate Running area then another Class Loco in a 2nd area ete-etc, It would be far easier to move Loco's around the base and save loads of time. In the late 70-80's the Loco's on Toton use to be all in excellent condition (Very rare you would see a bad condition one unless it was accident damaged) but these days apart from the refurbished Loco's on shed they all look derelict.

Worked on class 60's from brand new, they cost just over £ 1 million each, 100 built. In my opinion, the Mirrlees engine was not the best choice of unit as we had issues with the Mirrlees engined 37 /9's. Ruston /Paxman , GM would have been my choice. I suggested over 15 years ago to EWS management, a GM710 or similar should have been fitted to a 60 with upgraded electronics. That would have made a very good loco. 60's let down by niggly faults, even the upgrades had limited impact . They were a very good loco early days, the issues started when they were not allocated to a specific home base depot but a general allocation at Toton. That's when the rot started.

What a mess.

What was the number off that GBRf 66 at the start?

I don't get what's happening here? These Class 60's being moved to Land Recovery are they going to be restored back to service or eventually cut-up and scrapped?

Hermoso.

Another good video, a question though, are the 69s conversions from UK built or Romanian built 56s. I'm thinking the former as the latter were troublesome.

Even 40 years ago they looked like something from another era... and they're still there.

Truly amazing! 😍

And to think China burn approx 12.5 million tonnes of it per day. On the flip side they are the worlds largest renewable energy consumer.

Hello mind if I come becuse it’s my sons birthday soon and he really likes trains

Got some great traction in that consist, sounded epic!

24 coal wagons, that's impressive...

not long now before some hard working CL 66 locos will be on the SCRAP LINE ?

Can the stop oil mob suggest an alternative to fossil fuels? Wind and solar power won't cut it!!

Excellent video as always 👍

You wouldn’t believe it over 20years ago. Amount of coal used from our mines !! It’s history nowadays

from what looks like maybe other spotters they are complete Dumb asses, they should know better playing on a crossing, only a matter of time till one of them gets hit

My home is not far away from the power station

Yes cl 60 were good. But when thay had been designed they had better electronic control and extra semiconductor and passive component circuitry to protect same.

On the coal train only the first 14 wagons loaded,so this ran to clear a stockpile, presumably at Immingham.It was burnt in the last day or so,so that's the end of coal in electricity generation.As a boy in the 1940,s growing up on the Cannock Chase coalfield you saw few retired healthy miners,if the dust didn't get them the smoking did,in fact some thought smoking helped to clear the dust by coughing.So no regrets on my part

Fossil fuels rules!!

great video matey i live very close to Toton & ratcliffe dont know where the lekky is coming from when ratcliffe stops generating at end of september ill have to get some more candles ready .🤣...it will take some replacing that will its the biggest in uk & the only coal fired P S left . syd

Sandiacre not Stableford

A lot of class 60s hopefully in usable condition . Has the 60 scrap line increased. ?. Great video. Thank you.😊

Brilliant.

i love to see a grid flying about propper old-school locomotives! Good video 🥰

beautiful video and sunny weather thrown in too

Very stupid risking life to get close ups of Motive power ,Just stupid,Amazing motive power ,But as for the idiots trespassing ,This could lead to tragedy as for those drivers trying to do their job and end up hitting someone or killed themselves doesn't bare thinking about .

watching this video gave me genuine Anxiety!! these 2 are dumb as shit!!

I thought only class 25 were nicknamed the rats

They aren't crossing. Naughty boys

I remember these in service in Rail blue although the 20’s were in NCB Blue you could hardly make out the number.

ain't it meant to be blue?

Does that Midland Pullman ever run?

4:48 I caught these two locos at stoke works junction

1:55 why can’t that man just get off the track and stop walking back and forth around the track he’s gonna get himself killed if he doesn’t get off

Fantastic Video

Sad looking beasts caged in a zoo..will they run free again?

Ah, the lesser spotted pillocks,normally seen wearing shorts in the summer months.

Definitely trespassing looks like no gates or signs to walk across hope you sent this to btp

I would call that a raptor

Great video the Class 25 locomotives were nicknamed Rats think the Class 26s were Tea cups I have a technical question regarding filming and consider you a great video camera man who might be able to help me
