The third shot in this Winwick section is from myself. DRS class 66, 66434, is currently liveried in the new Malcolm colours and was featured in the previous post, 22nd January 2012. My shot reminds you of how it looked in its previous Fastline livery in a pic from 24th April 2010. The working was an empty logs.
