Description To bring chaos to order, i posted a picture out of order, this is due to the fact that its the most important picture I think I have posted.

Yes trainspotters of the world, thats right the first shot of a DB Schenker new liveried train in the UK to be posted on DA.

This was recently painted, one of two Class 37s to receive the new livery.

This is a DB Schenker Class 37 "37670 St Blazey T&RS" and "37401" (In EWS Livery).

This is truly a epic moment taken 49 minutes ago on the WCML.

I believe its Mission Complete!

Bring back the EE UK locos, and GE should stop building EU locos and retreat to American/Canadian.

What's funny is a comic I drew references the end of BR Class 37s on DB Schenker. The Scrap Yard was required to scrap the engine by DB (NB: This is not [as far as I know] a real world condition.)

The scrap owner is able to save the Name plate, and clearly dislikes the situation; He refers to DB Schenker as 'DB s**ts.'

It's the same here... Scrapyard is required to scrap the engines 100%, not allowed to even sell or give away parts of them, despite many railfans being willing to pay for it. But that's just a minor issue when considering how many working locos got the axe here... [link] [link]

There's something about this that looks like a model, lol.

Not a fan of the DB livery. EWS is one of my favourite modern liveries.

robertbeardwell In reply to beeurd [2010-01-11 00:04:00 +0000 UTC]

Indeed EWS was cool, i also like it looks like a model because the paint is brand new. But also you have to change with the time, we have had EWS for 10 years now, time to change.

I saw this and was like I don't believe I've ever seen an English loco in German paint before! Looks like it might even have a Deltic engine!

robertbeardwell In reply to Silverwolf-1ofmany [2009-12-12 10:54:57 +0000 UTC]

, Well yes firstly, DB (German Railway Company) bought out the biggest operator of freight (EWS) which means that 90% of all freight trains are now run by the German Government, so in time they will repaint all there trains into DB Red, at the moment i think there are 6 trains that are in the scheme, this was one of the Class 37s before they where withdrawn

Also its not a deltic though it looks very much like one

Yes Class 37 and Class 55 look similar , and yes it is sad as only one Class 37 is out actually running on the Mainline at the moment now

Yes Indeed, But knowing the future train generation of this country they will find a way to make a new one, you may of heard of "Tornado" the new Steam locomotive here in the UK, the A1 Class Steam Loco were all scrapped back in the 60s. 40 years later and we have built a new one scratch in memory of the ones gone, an epic achievement if any.
