The latest of GBRF's 'new' 66's imported from Europe. This example starting life in Germany before becoming 66793. A classic theme to celebrate the construction industry saw GBRF paint 66793 in the 1990's BR Sector Construction livery. Certainly a welcome surprise. This, and 66794 once that's finished, will generally be dedicated to a specific flow from Grain BP - Colnbrook which due to weight requires lower geared 66's of which these pair are. During downtime they'll likely end up at Tonbridge or St Leonards unless any major work is needed in which case a trip to Peterborough will be on the cards. It'll be interesting to see how 66794 comes out. Until then here we see 66793 on it's first solo working on it's allocated flow on the return run, stopping at Acton Mainline awaiting it's path forward.
