I stopped off at Kingmoor on my way home from Carlisle to see if I could spot any of the new 68's and 88's and wasn't disappointed! Spotted from the Nature Reserve were:
68026: as yet unbranded (still in blue basecoat)
88007: 'Electra'
68027: as yet unbranded (still in blue basecoat)
88010: 'Aurora'
88009: 'Diana'
88006: 'Juno'
From the bridge
the same locos could be seen as well as a 2nd row behind them led by
88002: ' Prometheus' which had just returned from its test run.
unfortunately I could not ID the other 3 stabled behind 002. I was impressed by the 88 and noticed how quiet it was when 88002 pulled out of Carlisle earlier. The 88 has the same body shape as the 68 which many similarities between the 2 different classes.
