Class 60 locos are on the market

DB CARGO has offered up 14 stored Class 60 locomotives currently at Toton for sale by tender, with offers due to be received by August 20. The condition of many of the Brush ‘Type 5s' is questionable, as some have been in the scrap line for more than 15 years! Locos for sale “as seen” include Nos. 60098 Charles Francis Brush, the 1000th machine built by the Leicestershire manufacturer, and 60008/013, a duo previously offered for sale and at one time believed to have been bought by GB Railfreight.
