So what's so special about 158815?
Although re-arrange the numbers so it's 158851 then it sounds good as it's 158 sdrawkcab

170s are supreme by a country mile!
Someone prescribe that man 150cc of 158 thrash, stat!
EDIT: As far as I can see, 158815 sucks. Not a rateable member of the class in my books. 158825 on the other hand is.
158815 has my name in both cabs above the TPWS.
Yes Julian, it's an awful train! I just love it. It's like the train equivalent of me.
...like the first time I got a ride on it, it got a deflated suspension airbag and door problems, and everyone got kicked off at Par! Exactly what I'd do if I were a train
Though, I'd do it at Denton!

158s are good, I'd jist rather be on a 170 for a long journey. Based on my FSR experience.

Hummm 158: Wining noise slows down to 10mph every 2 mins in ice, no air conditioning or lack of...
170: Weird noise, air conditioned (artic at times though)
Much rather have a 67 with Mk2/3s or a HST, nothing else in Scotland these days. Or the Jacobite but thats gone to bed until spring, don't blame it.

158's certainly are hellfire (or straight out of hell as regarding one certain unit). Besides they follow my simple law of BR.
If XX(X) = <1994 =BR & good chance of being a beast.= +50
sub additions:
is DMU= +1
is Diesel Loco= +12
is 142/143= -500 (well everyone makes mistakes.)
If XX(X) = >1994 = Gaylord livery,plastic tat worth **** all.= -2,000.
sub additions:
is dmu that has replaced loco hauled stock & carrys red/silver colours.= -4,000.
is "loco" that has not been built by BREL(or contractor).= -2,000.
is "loco" frankensteined from previous BR loco.= -1,000.
is pendodildo.= -infinate!
Simple really.
Oh & BTW to keep on topic is.
Shrewsbury closed at night, no exceptions.Crewe has plenty of trains knocking around & I've seen folks sleeping & wondering about there till at least 3:30 in the morning before now.
