How many 57s and which ones are currently available for use on the sleeper?

Plenty of 67s waiting around for passenger work so why bother converting a freight diesel?

So closest like for like intended use is with a 90?

So just wondering about my question as the OP...

I'd like to know when maroon CCTs and other parcels vans began the paint transition from maroon to blue and by when was it complete? What years might it have been usual to see a mixed livery parcels train? Thanks in advance.

How will an 88 compare with existing electric locos such as 90s, 91s and 92s in terms of performance?

Where does FGW use 57s to drag EMUs?

All stoppers operated by northern on the non-electrified CLC line between Manchester and Liverpool via Warrington Central are operated by Class 142s and150s with the occasional 156 showing up too.

Fact is that it will still be some time before you can run an uninterrupted train from Southampton Maritime to Trafford Park under wires.

No working wifi on my refurbished one today either.

Two power cars and six mk3 carriages weigh about 350 tonnes. The Lickey Incline is 3.2km long with an average gradient of 1:37.5. How far will a train progress up the incline if it approaches the incline at 160kph and switches its engine into neutral at the start of the ascent?

HSTs have been known to rescue 57s from time to time ;-)

508s would have reached top speed a long time ago on the Southern Region.

I think I read somewhere that they have different cab layouts to standard UK 66s?

Clearly a reason why the early AC locos were called Roarers???

Screaming Valentas. Easy choice.

Goofs trains could be my new favourite.

Thanks for all answers! Interesting topic with not much internet material.

I'm trying to ascertain when the BR western region withdrew its Suburban B coach sets. I understand that most routes were taken over by the new DMUs but would any B sera have survived long enough to be diesel hauled?

That's Pompey for you!
