Class 66s in Orange

[TRAX]

Hello there,

I wasn’t sure this was worthy of a new topic but thought I might go ahead…

I was wondering if Freightliner’s 66s were still being repainted in G&W orange and if yes, if we could have a recap of which locos have already been treated and if we could keep track of the matter here.

Thanks for any help.

Orange’d 66s: 66413, 66415, 66419, 66503, 66605, 66623. (upd. 09.06.22)

I've no idea if repainting is ongoing or not, a small annual subscription to WNXX will give access to details on all locos including livery along with much more, I can only see the following 66s listed as in G&W Freightliner orange

413/415/419/503/623

66503 & 66590 worked to Bletchley TMD instead of Wolverton Works to collect an ex-crippled wagon and take it to Northampton Castle Yard. Both are now returning to Crewe Basford Hall. I don't believe 66509 is leaving Wolverton today either

You are correct, I haven’t identified the workings till much later
