GBRF to re-gear some of its class 66's

 

[Rail Quest]

I'm unable to access the source, does it confirm which locos will be re-geared or how many?

Summarised

It is understood that GBRf are looking at re-gearing several standard Class 66s to /6 spec. GBRf already has four /6 spec Class 66s (66793-66796 all allocated to the GBHH pool) but these could be renumbered.

It does not quote how many, just states "some": But don't forget that 66793-796 are allready 66/6 geared, although you would not know it from the numbers.

But the GBHH pool code does give it away.
