StaffsOatcake Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Currently two are diagrammed for the 6Z67 Liverpool BT - Ratcliffe returning as 6F18 to Warrington and the second 6Z80 Liverpool BT- Ratcliffe. Times for Stoke-on-Trent are 6Z67 is 11.22 and the 6Z80 is 16.36. But both tend to run early with the 6Z80 much earlier than booked for the passed few days. 60085 28/04/10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
magic_monkey09 Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Don't think so Jo, 007 is one of 15 members of the class in warm storage at Crewe. hope 059 isn't too badly damaged i also noted that 007 has lost one of its beastie stickers since its been at Crewe, not sure if both of them are gone though would be nice if Bachmann did some Murco TEA's to go with my 60074 B) dont fancy Hornby's cheapy ones Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
big T Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 009 and 074 seem to be the ones in and out of storage daily. Glad to see 6E41 is still producing. Its a flaming shed every time I go out for it. rancid! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
big T Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 just been looking at pics of of tug 98 on fotopic and WOW what a mess its in. All the electrics in the cab have been ripped out, all the light clusters missing, no air horns, engine room doors removed, no couplings, wipers and their mechanisms missing, mulit-working sockets removed, cabside windows taken out and boarded up and that's just what you can see, no doubt theres alot more parts missing inside. between Immingham and Toton they've really made this ones fate certain 98 has been in a state like this for some years now. Its been a Christmas tree for the rest of the class, and its more reasonable to ask whats left, rather than whats gone!!! Its fate was sealed way way back sadly. The same was to be said for 052 and 006 which were at Margam - not much left with them either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimleygrid Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 would be nice if Bachmann did some Murco TEA's to go with my 60074 dont fancy Hornby's cheapy ones I too was hoping that either Bachmann or Hornby would do a model of the new style TEAs but alas no! I see 040 returned to traffic yesterday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
magic_monkey09 Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 have Hornby stopped production of 60040? hattons and all the major retailers seem to have run dry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oakydoke Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 have Hornby stopped production of 60040? hattons and all the major retailers seem to have run dry Production will have stopped soon after it started (the same week or even the same day, depending on how long it takes to run a single batch and how many are being made). I would imagine that for something like a class 60, there will only be one batch run of each running number/identity. Available supplies will depend on how many were made and how soon they are bought up by customers. Your best bet is to look around the smaller retailers to see if they have any left in stock, otherwise it's wait and see if another batch is produced (highly unlikely in this case), or eBay.

RMweb Premium Steadfast Posted May 6, 2010 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 6, 2010 Mon-Fri. 6B33 runs (booked) about an hour earlier on a Sat, and can run an hour or more early on the weekdays it runs (T,ThO), so be if it doesn't appear one day, it may have gone early. The Westerleigh runs similar times on Sat to weekdays, presuming it isn't caped because of engineering work near Gloucester cheers jo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oakydoke Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 .....the Mainline 60078 came out in 2005 and is still available now from Hornby An early example from Hornby. Did they produce too many, some of which are still on the shelves and as a result have made smaller numbers of subsequent issues? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

radagast Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Hi All, First post here from a long-time lurker. Fairly sure that I just saw one of these fine machines at Ratcliffe-on-Soar power station. I was driving past on the A453, and it was lurking under the road bridge on the other side of the coal pile. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

magic_monkey09 Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 wasn't one of the class 60 Ratcliffe coal diagrams acquired from Fastline after they ceased operations? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
40044 Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 wasn't one of the class 60 Ratcliffe coal diagrams acquired from Fastline after they ceased operations? Not exactly. Fastline never had regular work from LBT to Ratcliffe. The LBT - Ironbridge flow has not yet restarted with any operator, although DBS ran a train to Ironbridge last weekend for a weights & measures test.
