They will be probably end up with GBRf which is desperate for additional motive power.

Yes I think GB are the most likely and maybe Colas.
Some people are reporting that 66016 has just been painted into DB Red so might be a mistake
Both 66016 and 66058 are in the new livery. All ten locos have serious engine issues and DBC have decided against repairing them.
It is now confirmed that the WQDA allocated Class 60s (60003 60004 60005 60006 60008 60013 60014 60018 60022 60023 60025 60027 60030 60031 60032 60037 60042 60050 60051 & 60052) are the twenty Class 60s that are being sold to Wabtec. Plans for the movement of these locomotives, several are stood in the long line of Class 60s in Toton Yard, are to be formulated. In line with what has mentioned on here some weeks ago, the repair of these Class 60s looks set to be a joint effort with the body and electrical work being undertaken at Loughborough while the mechanical gubbins, the jig for rebuilding the Class 60 power units is still at Toton, will be undertaken at Toton.
66130 is reported as in the new livery.
Next one out the paint shop is 66192.
67030 has been dispatched to Derby Litchurch Lane to collect the next 345 unit.
