My opinion as a train driver, (which will probably count for zilch), is that like the 66, when EWS ordered the loco other companies waited to see what the loco would,

a. Look like and

b. The reliability of the loco.

Once the loco had proved itself as a biuld, ship it to the UK and start work all the other freight companies joined the band wagon. I think that this new class 68 will have the same start to life in the UK.

In other words let the loco prove itself then watch the order book swell.
