It's FAIRLY new news! You'll notice in the WRGen reports that 66101, and the other couple of 66/0s repainted in DBS livery, are referred to as, among other things, 'red sheds'; somehow the description works, even though ALL 66/0s are EWS red. Funny old world.

EWS is dead it's slowly being re-painted into the bright red of Deutsche Bundesbahn which of course when they took over EWS they said they'd NEVER do

it news anyway doesn't matter which group you listen to it was a thread on UK-Rail too and EWS-Gen

Hiya. I know EWS doesn't officially exist any more as such, but I think slowly is the best descriptive word! As far as I'm aware, of all the EWS fleet, one 59, one (possibly two?) 67s, two (possibly three) 66s, two 37s, and one 92 have been garishly repainted. EWS may well be dead, but you'd think that DBS would hide the body....

Waht does the AG stand for ??

bet it's the German equivalent of a government organisation being privatised

or even PLC

Not too bothered but would have prefered it being owned by a BRITISH comapny or even the Government - - no forget the last one Civil servants can't run a pi** in a brewery

That's only partly true. The Deutsche Bahn "DB" logo uses a different font to the Deutsche Bundesbahn "DB" logo

Yes Gray.
It's roughly the equivalent of a PLC and stands for Aktiengesellschaft
