That would please the English Electric mob but what about the Sulzerites? If you would really baulk at a 47 why not throw a peak up front with the 50. 47's underpowered compared to a 40.......!?:wink:

Probably nothing to do with the driver, virtually everyone leaves Meadowhall feeling miserable and would probably moan at anything anyway!:lol:

That's no bad thing :lol::twisted: --- old post above --- --- new post below --- In all seriousness I don't mind what the traction is as long as it is pre 1985, as I am a victim of my age. Give me a good honest diesel with plenty of noise and clag and I will be happy! I too like 37's I used to...
