What has been your most favourite loco(s) for thrash & clag?
Be it sick loco(s), wet rails etc.

Its a bit unusual as I'm not usually a 'clag and thrash' person, but it would have to be ex-Fastline 56301 that was noisy, caught it at the Swanage diesal gala in may.

For thrash, I have to add 37351 @ ELR in 1999, 40145 on anything, 20302 struggling @ Glenfinnan on Spitfire Tour.
For Clag, 37712 with a defective turbo on a Pathfinder Tour to Leeds, ECS left for Neville Hill leaving station in thick black clag, even better @ BNS!

Ohh yes, the TE10; 1940s Fairbanks Morse opposed piston technology, still in production into the 90s. Gotta love Soviet long-term planning.

I always like this clip, but not sure if it's entirely subject specific! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXUvKC1d-SM&

HSTs in Aberdeen, first thing in the morning
Presumably due to the cold oil the entire area would disappear in a "light fog" as the HST was moved from the yard to the station, on arrival what then became the rear power was switched off
Just prior to departure the rear power car was switched back on again
I remember on one departure (sitting in the TGS at rear of train) and even passing Craiginches could still see smoke being produced by the front power car
Looked out to have a look at the rear power car to compare and it was the same
The train was stopped at Muchalls due to the report of "train on fire"
