Definitely 6, I didn't know that 57's had steam engines

 

[D1001]

Bit of a no brainer this one! Shame, as it's not mine!

 

[berwickspotter]

It looks like Rainbow Hill tunnel to me, having to sign the route and all that

General Vegitable..unlike you to make a firm decision, normally you balance on the fence!

Wibble! I like 2 and 3 for different reasons... 2 is a nicely composed shot and 3 is rather interesting (liking the colours gen!) and had a little bit more sun.. yes wibble but I've chosen and I'm not saying which one I actually went for in the end!!

I only do that if there is an argument, in a vote I choose the best

ive chosen 6 but one point i must make is i thought the original idea for 57's was a more enviromentally friendly more powerfull engine and then they clag like that?

Don't forget the visible stuff is far less harmful than the non-visible. And of course, the power units were only reconditioned so it's not a clean slate to start with.

No, the 57s had a new GM engine fitted to the existing 47s bodyshell, with updated electronics (including diagnostic software) added.

No they didn't, they were fitted with refurbished General Motors 645-12E3 engines. That is why they have become quite claggy so quickly.

congrats to Mr (or Ms) 6 whoever you are, great shot

Congrats mumrar (puts on the "Celebrate good times" song)

 

[mumrar]

WOW. Thanks for all the votes people, it just goes to show you don't always the sun to make a great shot, as 4 out of 6 shots were taken in full sun and mine wasn't one of them! Thank God I didn't get by that 150 then!

 

[Teaboy1]

Yes congrat's, well deserved victory.

 

[D1001]

Well done - good capture!
