Most Recent Photo 76008 trundles 'light engine' through Darnall on 26 May 1981. The loco could develop 1,858HP which puts it in about the same power band as a class 37 (1,750 BHP). However the continous pwer output was limited to 1,300 HP, similar to a class 27!!. Withdrawn in July 1981 when the closure of the Woodhead line rendered the class useless. Eventually towed to Booths in Rotherham and cut up in June 1983 Links My Other Stuff Companion site to this one ! All My Brothers Stuff, Well worth a look.... Colin Brooks Stuff.... NEW !!!

One thing that stands out is the quite considerable difference in the loading guage. 66215 was the first class 66 to work under its own power in France. This was on January 5 2006 at the SNCF test track section between Plouaret and Plounerin near Brest in Brittany. Then after visiting the test centre at Vitry for static testing, 215 was moved down to the line bewteen Angers and Nantes for further running trials. 26-2-8   British Rail Type 5 --- Class 55 - 56 - 58 - 59 - 66 - 67   (1) Most Recent Collections The Latest Stuff from the Last Few Weeks Scottish Rail Rover --- Class 06 - 08 - 20 - 25 - 26 - 27 - 37 - 40 - 47 - 55 British Rail Shunters --- Class 01 to 13 British Rail Type 1 --- Class 14 - 15 - 17 - 20 British Rail Type 2 --- Class 21 - 24 - 25 - 28 - 31 British Rail Type 3 --- Class 33 - 35 - 37 British Rail Type 4 --- Class 40 - 41 - 42 - 44 - 45 - 46 - 47 - 52 - 57 British Rail Type 5 --- Class 55 - 56 - 58 - 59 - 66 - 67 British Rail Electric Locos --- Class 71 to 90 Class 50 --- In BR Blue Class 60 --- From New to the Present Day British Rail Units and Other Stuff --- DMU's - HST - Everything Else Avon Bin Train --- Class 37 - 56 - 58 - 60 - 66 Furzebrook to Hallen LPG Train --- Class 58 - 60 Ticket and Railtour Leaflets from 1977 Onwards
