Sheds of Many Colours: 66779

            GB Railfreight Class 66/7 No. 66779 was named 'Evening Star' after the last British Railways steam  locomotive, Class 9F No. 92220 "Evening Star' that was built  Swindon Works in 1960. At the time, No. 66779 was expected to be the final Class 66/7 for GB Railfreight, hence the tie-up, which also included decking out the 'Shed' in BR express green, to match the colours carried by No. 92220. However, since GBRf has acquired more Class 66s, some from DB Cargo, plus a few more from the continent, so No. 66779 is now not the end of the line! Still, it was a nice touch by GBRf, who are very image conscious, and the livery sits well on the locomotive. It is seen approaching water Orton West Junction with 6G16 1123 Cliff Hill Stud Farm - Bescot Up Engineers Siding on 2nd July 2019. Copyright Photograph John Whitehouse - all rights reserved
