  • @uncinarynin Before they passed to Balfour Beatty, Newag undertook some work on them both - one aspect of which was to cut down the cab width, taking a bit off each side of the loco, in order that they fitted UK W6a loading gauge. The side steps have also been raised by a few inches.

  • Were any changes about the cab required to operate in the British profile? That's narrower than the continental, at platform level ....

    The original colour was RAL 3004.

  • We sent ‎323 539-7 down too, but she requires a bit of work before being able to shunt.

  • @uncinarynin And Arlington being willing, she may end up Orient Red again...

  • This particular unit was built by Gmeinder in 1957 for Deutsche Bundesbahn as Köf 6291, originally painted purple red, 1968 renumbered to 323 674-2, 1990 sold to Balfour Beatty, used in the construction of the Channel tunnel as No. 50, 1993 to Hong Kong for the airport railway construction, after 1998 returned to Ashford (Kent), 2003 to Northumbria Rail (named "Simonside"), 2011 to Knights Rail Services, Eastleigh Rail Works, Hampshire.

  • It is a German 323 = Köf II. The design is originally from 1932, they were used until 1999 by Deutsche Bahn AG, some are still active for private and museum railways.

  • Eastern European I take it? Looks like it's got plenty of grunt behind it, but they usually do. :)

  • So good to see these little engines working again (0:

  • Tho's shunter's are very wired looking, it like someone has got a big hammer and hit a class 08 to the ground.
