Sometimes the namesplates are refitted to other locos.DBS are refurbishing 20 class 60 locos for heavy freight Photo shows a leg out of bed job on a Mirrlees Blackstone.Good job no one was in the engine room when that happened :wtf:

That's a right mess! The 6Os will look good in red and yellow. The DBS 37s are a fave!

We are not allowed to go into the engine room of a class 60 whilst under load .Don't think you would survive if you got hit by that conrod as its a big lump of iron :lol:
