I wonder if they'll take the safety rails off the sides and replace with Tubed rails. But it's still a beast. Some ones found some old 58 body shells and cut and shut a few bits.
Apparently to be allocated the 'class 70' ID & already nicknamed by UK rail enthusiasts as 'The Predator'. This is certainly one ugly loco. Some locomotive... It looks more like something the A-Team built!

This is from Freightliner:
The front of the cabs are a result of future proofing the design to the pending locomotive TSI.
The TSI calls up two euro norms that require a 3m cube survival space in the cab for the driver as well as the requirement to fit anti-climbers.
As a result we have three stage crash provisions:
Stage 1 - Collapsible buffers
Stage 2 - Anti climbers engage to prevent climbing and also second stage crush zone
Stage 3 - Crush box hidden behind the buffers.

The current rails are wooden, so I guess they will be replaced!
