Have any of these loco's actually gone for scrap yet or are they still at Toton?

60006 was scrapped last week.

Thanks. I still need 12 for sight but did see 006 from the A52 bridge about 5 years ago.

I need 35, 70 and 77 for sight but not sure that they can be seen from any public areas

All been seen in January however I’m not sure if they are actual sightings or people putting down what’s there when they go

It's been reported by someone on WNXX this afternoon that 60086 is on a lorry being transported to Leeming Bar with a second to follow, presumably 60060 as both were bought by Ron Hull, no doubt more info will follow as to their future

Not quite: 60006/086 were Ron Hull but 60060 was a private buyer I believe. There was a suggestion that 60086 had been sold on.

It was reported it was 60060 that was sold on, was it not sold by the private buyer to ron hull in a private sale.

Spot on, I think I might be getting my 006s and 060s in a twist, probably an age thing

Possibly! Whatever, only 60006 has been scrapped so far.

Yes only 60006 scrapped not confirmed yet if the other two are actually getting scrapped read they might not be.

Delivered this afternoon to Leeming Bar. I have to say Good luck to whoever is taking that one on, as it's externally it is missing a fair few parts, so god knows what it looks like on the inside.

Not sure if it is possible to make one good one from the pair, suspect not as likelihood is same bits have been robbed from both..

As the old thread has been locked I'll open a new one

Reported on WNXX (subscription section) that DB have placed fourteen stored Class 60s up for sale

008 - 009 - 013 - 022 - 038 - 057 - 061 - 064 - 070 - 075 - 080 - 090 - 098 - 099

All except 038 & 099 are in Toton Compound which is to be cleared for the new Automotive Facility

I wonder if this is simply a scrap/parts sale or if DB would offer purchasers a Super60 refurbishment

If it's work that someone will pay for, I am sure DB would be happy to do the refurbishment if required.

This is the first sale after ORR requirement to offtern BR era stock to other users with minimal strings attached has ended so more likely to be scrap than previously.
DB are also reimporting some of the 66s from France.

 

[DarloRich]

Surely this is for scrap/component recovery? Wont these locos be rotten?

Is it known if any operators are interested in any of these locos?

[ExRes]

Reported on tonights WNXX news update that 60060 is due to be moved from Toton to Leicester LIP tomorrow, transfer from Toton by road to Knighton Junction and then collected by DCR as 1530 0Z60, the 60 is looking in a right old mess, not surprisingly, it will be interesting to see what work can/will be carried out on it at Leicester


**Updated 6th August

60060 was collected from Knighton Jct Sdgs today and is now at Leicester LIP

 

[train_lover]

I hear from a shunter at DB that a number of 60s have been purchased by a FOC from DB. Word is they've also paid for a complete overhaul to be done by DB at Toton which is currently happening.

Does anyone have any gen on this?

 

[D365]

According to Wikipedia, DBC currently own 81 locos. Have they sold more?

 

[Peter Mugridge]

There was a fairly large tender list for class 60s for sale issued a month or two ago.
