GBRF confirms conversion of Class 56s to Class 69s

[Trainman40083]

That's a quarter of the class 69s, so about what you would expect since 30 out of 135 class 56s (22%) were Romanian

How many 56s were Crewe built?

56116 to 56135 were built at Crewe, I think. Done to give space at Doncaster for the Class 58 build.

Yes, last 20 were Crewe built and for reason given.

15 - numbers 56116 to 56135.

15, I believe, rather than 20.

15 - numbers 56116 to 56135.



15, I believe, rather than 20.

So if 15 Class 56s were built at Crewe, which of the 20 in the number sequence 56116 to 56135 were not?

56116 to 56135 is 20 locos and all were Crewe built; non of this batch was Doncaster built!

March 1996 according to the list on WNXX.

Less than 20 years' service, structure and bogies are probably in great shape!

Must be a record for a loco being out of service for 30 years and the returned to regular mainline use.

I think your mathematics are suspect!

 

[Class15]

15 - numbers 56116 to 56135.

Is that discontinuous? 56116 to 56135 is twenty.
