High Output Sale

Reading about the Tampers and Regulators being sold by NR.

I see the USP6000 regulator is not listed (77010), is it a mistake or are they keeping it?

It is not mentioned in any of the listings/photos for the current tender.

It has been suggested that there'll be more machines for sale in the future, so maybe 77010 will be available at a later date.

Think I read the same documents as yourself that missed out 77010.

I hear the later sale will get rid of everything else except HOBCS 5

Advised when viewing the machines at Parkeston that a decision is yet to be made on the USP6000 - it may be retained for strategic purposes but likely will go the same way. Problem has always been that the shift rate is too high on it - it will struggle in the hands of tamping operator to prove viable when some routes struggle to justify a USP5000.
