Best Laid Plans


How can I make my photo of the Class 60 on oil tanks through Fiskerton a little bit different this time? I know, I thought, I’ll use the zoom lens to cunningly place the 60-m.p.h. speed limit sign next to the Class 60. Imagine my surprise then, when for the first time since I’ve been going down there with any regularity, a Class 66 comes into view round the bend and between the trees.
Nothing wrong with a bit of variety, of course, and No. 66137 looked very smart and colourful in her DB red uniform and I prefer this design to the 60s anyway. My little book tells me that the DB Cargo Class 66s are fitted with “stop start technology”, which I expect comes in quite useful from time to time, as well.
