Class 45(driven as 2nd man)I liked them as a kid

but gotta be class 56 as favourite..the noise and power! or,close 2nd 50's..had the privilege of working on all 50 of them as a 2nd man,and driving them Waterloo-Exeter or return,or simply ferrying from Waterloo-Old oak common..either trip was nice!

-Class 47 (especially 47170/47582/47733) It was a superb type 4.
-Class 56
-Class 37
-Class 20
-BR class 9F (The final & best steam loco ever)
-LMS Black 5 (even though I'm GWR at heart I love the 5's & as a Salop driver I would have to. My depot's drivers in the late 60's pushed their class 5's beyond what was ever expected. I believe 98mph was the best recorded speed by the salop driver who broke the Gobowen to Salop record. I have managed to beat it with a 158 but that was giving it death & the 70mph linespeed we now have)

 

[33056]

Fave loco? got to be class 33, no prizes for guessing my particular favourite 8)

After the 33s my list would probably be

Western
2095 (Austria)
001 or A class (Ireland)
103 (Germany), the latter being the only class of electric loco that I have ever gone out of my way to "bash".

Apart from these, there are loads of other loco types all over Europe that I enjoy - and quite a few that are to be avoided

 

[Juniper Driver]

Class 20 and their whistling noise.

 

[The Snap]

[Mr Alex]

This is actually quite hard..!
a) Class 60
b) Class 56
c) Class 67
d) Class 37
e) Class 59
I know your probably wondering about the 60 at the top and even a mention of the 59 but I was brought up with them and have certainly become 'attached' to the 60s and 59s.
