Greetings! :D

One of Britain's most powerful diesel locomotives, the Class 60s promised many great things when they were unveiled during the late 1980s, hoping to see a return to form for the British locomotive building industry as budding private rail operators chose foreign models on the grounds of reliability.

Sadly, the Class 60 would not break this losing streak, and in the first decade of their operation would see so many faults and breakdowns, that the new private freight operator, EWS, would have them replaced en masse by the American Class 66, with a majority of the fleet now languishing in storage across the country, despite only ever seeing around 10 years of sustained work.
