- Special 'Royal Scotsman' charter 1Z85 Edinburgh to Rannoch (then to London) is sighted at Garelochhead and Arrochar headed by 'last of class' 66779 'EVENING STAR' with Royal Scotsman liveried 66746 bringing up the rear. 66740 'Sarah' is also seen at Arrochar working 6S45 North Blyth to Fort William Rio Tinto Alcan alumina tanks.
Very last Class 66 ever to be built. Lovely locomotive.
Beautiful loco!
Not sure a 66 could be considered beautiful could it? Livery is interesting but that is as far as it goes really.
"Sleeping Sun" by Nightwish plays as Evening Star passes
What??
Very nice video -Kyle
Great shoot.
I saw 779 on an engineers working. It was working somewhere - Whitemore Yard 6T60
putting a bell on that loco is like putting pink ribbon on a pig.
The sound of its bell is the same as the graham white e bell from here in America.
that is a sexy train
Have you seen my clips of the unloading at Newport Docks when she was under wraps?
Yes, all top secret as to the livery, excellent choice by GBRf, I think. Glad to see they still continue to provide interesting liveries.
John Smith and his team do a good job
Do these from the last batch have EMD 12-1010J engines? Or are they fitted with second hand 710 units, like the 57's with their old 645's?
They have the EMD 12N-710G3B-EC, with 66779 being the last one. I think various right-offs of crashed locos allowed these to be built. For example GBRFs 66734 which came to grief on the West Highland Line being derailed by a land-slide and Stobart 66048 which was thrown off at Carrbridge due to brake failure.
@@A44488 Coincidence, as 66779 had (at the time of filming) 66734's engine. 66772-778 had new engines and 779 got 734's, if I remember correctly.
