Have you noticed weve gone from spotting and bashing on westerns peaks deltics and all that BRITISH stuff to a bunch off premade american whirling pure pieces of magnificent!
I don't know, I just can't get it sorry! The power is there, the livery etc but the look of the loco's now!?! Nah...... To friendly and Eurostar-ish, I know things had to progress but you can't beat the look and sound of a 37 or a 40!! Something that looked like it was giving the rails helmet as well as sounded like it!!! Brute unrestrained POWER!!!
No use being nostalgic about old 60s & 70s machinery, they have a business to run and they need something that starts in the morning. Remember there's still stiff competition from road transport in the UK.
That´s great!

As aerodynamic as a brick ! If they stuck a pointy nose on them they'd probably run faster, cost less and save time n fuel !!!. . .
