Information

60074 was outshopped from Brush Works in Loughborough on 29th October 1991. Following convention, the factory applied the nameplates from new, and in this case it carried the name 'Braeriach', after the third-highest mountain in the British Isles.

Allocated to the Trainload Coal sector, denoted by the black and yellow diamonds logo on its bodyside, the locomotive was assigned to Toton Depot. However, it never carried the Cooling Towers depot plaque; instead, its allocation was shown under the driver#s window as a small sticker.

Under the shadow franchises, 60074 became part of the Mainline fleet, retaining its triple-grey livery but with the Mainline logo replacing the previous sector design. This guise lasted right through the EWS era until 2005, when the EWS 'beasties' sticker was applied to its now-tatty triple-grey bodyside.

As part of a charity partnership between DB Schenker (then the owner) and the Teenage Cancer Trust, 60074 was selected for repainting into a striking light-blue livery, with details on the underframe and buffers picked out in white. On 1st March 2009, at the National Railway Museum in York, the locomotive was unveiled in its new colours by actor Chris Chittell and named 'Teenage Spirit'.

In 2011, 60074 was chosen for refurbishment under the 'Super 60' programme and re-emerged in January 2012 in a refreshed light-blue livery. Notably, this version included body-coloured window frames.

Sadly, in September 2014, the blue livery gave way to the DB Schenker house colours of Traffic Red with a grey band and roof, along with DB Schenker branding on the bodysides. At this time, the nameplates were removed for safekeeping.
In 2018, the DB Schenker branding was simplified to just 'DB Cargo'. This lasted until 2020, when 60074 received another special livery: an all-over grey with 'Puma Energy' branding and the new name 'Luke'.

Following the full storage of DB Cargo#s Class 60 fleet, 60074 remains in warm storage at Toton, awaiting the next chapter in its operational life.
