The Power Unit is set to be re-installed next week some-time, with her expected to be up and running a week on Monday at the earliest. I must mention, when 059 does go out on test, grab Loadhaul livery on the mainline while you can! |

Work is continuing well on 60015. She is almost pieced back together, and should be ready for test in a few weeks time.
60033 is also coming along very well too, with many brand new bits & parts being added over the past week. No re-paint is currently planned for this one, so should cause quite a storm when back in traffic in the silver livery she still carries.
60040 is now just a shell, with a great deal of progress being made on this overhaul too. We should know early next week weather she shall retain her Army branded livery, so keep an eye out for a further update. |

60067, 032, 060, 086, 050 & 088 have all been extracted from the storage lines in readiness for a trip back over to the shed. An attempt was made today to move them over, but a few valves were missing so for now getting air through the lot of them proved impossible.
All the above are earmarked for repair.
All shunting work was done today by 60063. Having witnessed 60063 working on the shunting duties today, she appeared to perform faultlessly.

Hot on the heels of the recent release of 60074 into traffic, the fuelling of 60079 is taking place today in preparation for her first start up since November 2008. Test runs are expected to follow soon, with the eventual re-paint.
Work on 60003 & 60033 has stopped currently, but this is set to continue at a later date with an eventual release into traffic. These are being fitted with ERTMS.
60059 is well on it's way through the programme, being an empty shell as recent as Christmas week. |
