The all time winner is of course the Fell diesel.
I was in a second hand everything shop today and they had a box of vinyl records of steam engines. If anyone wants such a thing let me know. Be a real hifi stereo buff.

Did manage to catch this from the bus to work this morning. Class 40 on a Royal Scot special. Duke of Gloucester Standard class 8 loco takes it forward from Crewe I believe. This was at Euston across the HS2 building site.

Tl;dr: 50 miles of joy ride track to annoy everyone around here and no actual benefit until the year 20Derp.
Good bit kit the ED’s. Would have never dreamed one day a modernised one would be dragging the sleeper in Scotland.
