Prototype Era
Era 9 (1995 to 2004) Initial Privatisation

Manufacturer description

During the transition from the shadow franchise era to EWS ownership, 60022 became unique in its class by being outshopped in primer and entering traffic in this unfinished state. This was because the final EWS livery had not yet been decided, but the locomotive was urgently needed for service. It featured primer-grey bodysides, a few black-painted details, numbers and warning flashes – and nothing more! Whilst some of these “ghost locos” were quickly repainted into the maroon and gold EWS livery, 60022 remained in its distinctive state for around 14 months. It skipped the original EW&S branding entirely, instead later receiving the EWS lettering and the famous “three beasties” logo on the cab side.

Accurascale Class 60 – EW&S ‘Ghost’ – 60022 is a ready‑to‑run DCC model (DCC Ready) representing a British Rail Class 60 locomotive in the initial privatisation period. The model bears the EW&S livery, uses the manufacturer part number ACC3123 and is supplied in a ready‑to‑run condition.

The prototype, number 60022, entered service during the transition from the shadow franchise to EWS ownership in an unfinished primer finish because the final EWS colour scheme had not yet been decided. The locomotive was released with primer‑grey bodysides, minimal black detail, numbers and warning flashes, and remained in this ‘ghost’ condition for about fourteen months. It never carried the original EW&S branding; later it was fitted with EWS lettering and the standard three‑beasties logo on the cab side.
