Class 59 & Class 66 (Shed) Locomotive Livery List
With 455 in total built since 1998, the class 66 is the UK’s most populous diesel locomotive. It can be seen nearly anywhere on the UK rail network working trains from intermodals to aggregates, passenger railtours and engineering trains. Not all 455 class 66s are in service, as many have transferred for use abroad, or have been scrapped.
The 5 UK operators of class 66 locomotives are DB Cargo, who operate the majority of the 66 fleet, Freightliner, GB Railfreight, Direct Rail Services and Colas Rail.
We have listed the class 66 locomotives below, along with their livery and name if applicable.
The below list is work in progress and you can contribute by posting in the comments any which are missing or incorrect (turnaround time 24 hours). This list will be regularly updated.
Thanks to all commenters that have helped to keep the list up to date. Looking for more liveries of things that go ying? Check out the class 69 livery list.

Can you include the livery for ex-66411 (now in Poland numbered 66013), but not included on your list?
Also do you know which Polish/German Freightliner ’66s are in G & W livery? – I saw one that I could not identify in Hamburg Harburg last week. I suspect its one of the original Polish ones ( not an ex GB one), but can’t seem to find out which ones are in G & W livery now.

I’ve got 66013 as at Crewe (66013 WBAE CREWEIEMD CREWEIEMD F D)
Is this the same as ex 66411 or is 66013 a different
Freightliner 66503 is undergoing a repaint into Freightliner Orange at Eastleigh, whether it keeps it’s nameplate “The Railway Magazine” is unknown as yet.

66791 GBRF Beacon Rail Blue soon to be in mainline service
”66791 GBRF Beacon Rail Blue soon to be in mainline service.”
Any further news on this one (and the other two), or have things come to a grinding halt like everything else?
Cheers, Robby
I understand quite a few of GBs 66s are in store until the Coronavirus blows over, I guess they’ll wait until everything is back to normal before reintroducing the stored 66s along with the 6679x locos , but as you say, I think for the time being things have halted
Thanks Matt for your instant reply! That’s what I assumed would happen.
Just noticed that the first one 66790 arrived in this country on 3 June last year, so in a couple of weeks it will celebrate its first year’s anniversary on British soil. So no-one seems to be in a great hurry to get this one up and running!
Very.good

GBRF 66778 In Store
GBRF/Freightliner/DB Class 66 are in and out of store on a daily basis at the moment: No doubt due to Covid19 and the lack of work for them.
66745 seems to be stored at Tyne Dock. Came up a couple of weeks ago and done not a jot since.
DB 66091 Operated by DRS now in DRS Blue
Gbrf 66790 & 66792 are ready to run and are awaiting repaint, due to the current situation this has been put on hold for now.
Hi Mark.
You’ve just answered a query I raised earlier on this page – about 10 posts up. Thanks for that!
Hi Robby, yes I had noticed your question, what I also ment to add was that all 6679x’s are at Long Port.
Ex DB now Freightliner GW Orange 59206 has retained it’s nameplate:
‘John F Yeoman Rail Pioneer’
DB 66113 – Delivering for our Key Workers-Vinyls: have now been applied on 04-06-20
Nice one Mark, do you have any photos of it? I only get 1 DB loco a week at my local but should give me something to look forward to…I still need PD ports one too but that always seems to be up in tees area
Sorry Matt, I don’t have a photo that I can post, the loco looks ex works throughout stood outside at Toton, it has in white vinlys: DB Delivering For Our Key Workers: then people standing in Multi-Coloured gowns for a third of the length of the loco.
The loco is stored at present at the time of posting, but not for much longer I would imagine.
Thankyou Mark, seen on Facebook some photos looks good. Can’t wait to see it down here.
Now that GBRF (66731) and now DB (66113) have got in on the NHS/Key Workers act, I wonder if Freightliner and DRS will do the same?
