RE: DB Cargo
Having last done this list in June 2019 and with not much to do in the present time here is an updated list of Class 66s to receive DB Red livery is as follows;
66001, 66009, 66017, 66018, 66019, 66020, 66021, 66027, 66034, 66035, 66041, 66044, 66055, 66065, 66066, 66070, 66074, 66077, 66078, 66082, 66085, 66094, 66097, 66100, 66101, 66104, 66105, 66107, 66113, 66114, 66115, 66117, 66118, 66124, 66128, 66130, 66131, 66134, 66135, 66136, 66137, 66149, 66150, 66152, 66165, 66167, 66175, 66182, 66185, 66192, 66206, 66230

66070 is the only one to of been done in the last 12 months
66135 was somehow missed off the list posted in June 2019
66230 was withdrawn in September 2018 owing to a cab fire caused by an accident at Dollands Moor see here;

The loco is however still visible in the yard at Toton with the damaged end covered up. It is unlikely it will return due to the damage being caused to No. 1 End which is where all the electric supply and control systems are housed. So therefore it is likely it will become the 4th of the class to be disposed of following 66048, 66521 and 66734.

Total: 52 as of 19/05/20
