And...?


This is meant to be the first in a long line of "Super 60s", where it has had a new turbo and several improvements to the engine and electrics. Now, it's top speed is 80mph, and will be finished in DB Red before entering revenue earning service.
Very much a retired regular poster..... If you can say that :mrgreen:

You're clearly not as much of a train buff as you claim if you don't understand the LoadHaul in-joke.

I'm aware of what they're doing with '007.

Please explain in-joke?

Strange train, never seen one. Very tatty. Looks cheaply built. :mrgreen:

I didn't understand the in-joke either. So I used this amazing new technology which reads lots of information on this "internet" thingy and gives you the page that matches the closest. Plus some porn for some odd reason.


Apparently when EWS purchased load haul, they stuck a hideous EWS sticker over the load haul logo, making the loco look like it had been defaced by vandals. See here http://www.hondawanderer.com/60007_Circourt_2006.htm




The technology I used had a silly name, called "Google". It really is very good, although it appears little used.




PS, I have no idea why I am feeling quite so sarcastic, but never mind :mrgreen:

LoadHaul is regarded by the most odd of the platform enders to be the ultimate livery. Hence why ridiculously a class 50 got painted in it a couple of years back for the open day at Eastleigh. I never really got it but yeah. It's a bit of a train spotter cliché really.

Well, LoadHaul would look good on anything.

Amazing that something which survived for such a short period (1994-96) could make such an impact.

What's that supposed to mean? :P


I was in a strange mood when I wrote it though - I normally try and avoid being that sarcastic on the internet, as it tends to get missunderstood too easily....
