I always liked the class 60   , great model from Hornby, one of their Best i think , i had one laying about here Dcc with Sound  and i advertised it at a cheap price 

but there were no takers , so it lay here gathering dust until last week 

that is when i wondered if Irish Rail had purchased any , what would they have looked  like , so rather than have it fill up with cobwebs i gave it my take on what i think it would have been   in Irish Rail Livery .

It is a work in progress      weathering next

I quite like the 60s as well - if only because they give a break from the monotony of endless 66s at Goring - they are used on oil trains from Theale near Reading to South Wales.

Livery looks good - almost GSR Steam Grey!

The IE livery sits well on the class 60.

Is the class nickname 'Vans'? The face reminds me of a Fiat (I think) van

IRC known as "Tugs".  Well they can pull a mountain. DB have struggled to replace on fuel trains from Wales.  Good what if model thanks for showing.
