Does anyone have technical data for the overhauled Class 60s? I'm intrigued to know whether the "super" tag is justified.
I'm wondering as well. I just saw on Youtube that 60007 had failed in darkest West Wales and was brought back to margam by a Shed. Whatever they've done to them, it doesn't seem to have conspicuously improved reliability much.
60019 is not a super 60.
The others have had no significant mods as yet, but are fully overhauled machines, but we must expect a few teething troubles.

Thanks for all the responses. I've also found some good info on the Class 60 Preservation Group website http://www.c60pg.co.uk/The-Class-60-Overhaul-Program.html
