From Chris at 2008-03-27 18:34:27 : Another vision of the future here - the only change will be replacing the word 'Schenker' with something more appropriate in English
From Murray at 2008-03-27 21:30:10 : Looks quite good actually :) But if you don't mind my asking, is there any particular reason why the UK yellow warning panel has been retained?
From MggW at 2008-03-29 16:26:57 : Looks quite smart!
From Martin at 2008-03-29 20:48:08 : A shed into yet another livery. Ho hum.
From Paul B-G at 2008-04-02 12:48:15 : Schenker was the name of a logistics form founded by Gottfried Schenker, which was purchased by DB in 2003. The DB Schenker brand is used worldwide, including in the UK.
From Sam at 2008-04-03 14:19:01 : Chris, they will leave it as SCHENKER, as shown on the 60 they painted blue for charity. Murray, the yellow warning panel will HAVE to be retained when they repaint them, so thats why Great pic by the way!
From PrentonPimp at 2008-04-06 22:12:33 : Dear Martin Barnsdall, It may be just another shed into another livery, but it's a loco nonetheless, and like it or lump it, we're stuck with 'em. Personally, I think they sound weak and whiney, but they are mega-reliable, and that's what keeps railways afloat these days. Sheds have saved the railways (for now...)
From David Broster at 2008-04-07 18:06:44 : Great pic! :D One thing, however, looking at the latest German 'leckie' locos, they're arriving with a miniscule DB logo only, and no 'Schenker' branding at all! :S but still a great repaint, as per 60074's style!
From Edwin fitchett at 2008-04-12 20:08:37 : I don't believe it a livery that actually improves the looks of a shed How about the badger in NXEC livery ? or a metro cammell in the new cross country livery ?
From Owen at 2008-04-12 20:48:57 : What, again?
From Murray at 2008-04-21 18:47:24 : Sam - sorry, misunderstood, thought we were speculating what the 66s might look like if they were actually going to run in Germany - my bad!
From 156401 at 2008-04-25 08:54:42 : Looks kinda christmassy :)
From GhostCav at 2008-05-04 22:18:34 : That 90 has managed to assist the shed back to the depot, even with a rather feeble looking tow rope! ;)
From Mick Sasse at 2008-06-07 23:43:14 : I'd suggest they'd/they'll be likely to adopt their international "Railion" branding as in Germany and NL.
From velaro at 2008-08-29 03:30:00 : Murray, the 66s do run in Germany - in a number of European countries, actually. Well, they're not classed as UK 66 obviously, but it's really the same loco.
From Catkins at 2008-09-01 13:56:04 : I'm counting the days for one to appear, but I think that the "SCHENKER" word would be replaced with "LOGISTICS", for that is all that schenker means.
From Mick Sasse at 2008-10-06 14:09:52 : @ Catkins - correct literal translation of the German ("schenken" - to send/despatch), but Schenker was as posted above actually someone's name: the connection with transport is in fact a coincidence! I've been thinking about some more DB liveries on UK locos - how about an 89 in TEE red/ivory or "Rheingold" dark blue/ivory...
From Scott at 2009-01-09 17:54:00 : thats what they will be painted in now!
