They each have their own allure. The smell of steam is the best while they noise of diesel is good. :-)

They sounded like they couldn't take up their that power I always thought. Class 50's are great. Used to be a regular at Oxford  |

You could find class 50 from East Anglia and from Penzance, so widely used.

er..this is the STEAM TRAIN THREAD....could we have some steam on here to redress the balance. Hall or County Class would be nice - I would settle for a GWR Pannier tank engine if pushed!

There was a 9F and a Black Five double headed powering out of the station. Wanton wheel spin and hammer-blow, probably a disaster for the permanent way. Beautiful for the spectator though! |

Anyone seen Tornado live? Yep - whilst waiting at Kidderminster station sometime last year. Tornado was at the Severn Valley Railway. I think this is my fave: |
