Slightly off-topic, but we visited Cologne last month! Stayed at the airport and caught the train into Cologne Hauptbahnhof every day

What encyclopedic knowledge you appear to have! I'll be testing you on all that when I see you tomorrow (and I expect the exact figures too!)

Thank you. I'm looking for datas for my Class 66 list. For Example please try this link: http://www.eisenbahnfieber.de/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=53&Itemid=61 Registration numbers, Depots. My special English isn't good enough to explain.

Here is a picture of a HGK Class 66. Picture was taken in Köln-West.

randomly....

I reckon it would be a good idea if FGW had a class 66 hauling the Night Riviera services..

Why would that be?

 

[support-uk-rail]

Well, I don't know a HUGE amount about train's, there running costs etc, I'm only into railways because my father has worked as senior chief signal engineer for almost 15 years now, and with my passes, rail is my usual long-distance form of travel, and bringing an interest with it.

I think [but don't know] that Class 66, more modern that the 57's used currently, would be more effecient and reliable. These could be supplied by First GBRf, which would provide a contract for them, and lower running cost for FGW?

 

[class 313]

66s for a start don't have ETH (Electric Train Heating) And have a 75mph speed limit.
