So it's actually, Your Favourite, Top Two, Top Three, Top Four or otherwise, categories of train - but you can make up the categories.?

EMU - 483
DMU - 159
DEMU - 210 (though it does remind me of a poor quality class of unit)
Loco - 33
Whatever - Smoky Bacon Crisps, from Walkers.

Iris 2 is converted from a 101, in case you didn't know.

EMU : Any of them failed & using a class 47 as assistance
DMU : Have to say 158, I love driving these units.
DEMU : Any of them failed & using a class 47 as assistance
Loco - Err you may guess already...... Brush type 4 or a class 47
Whatever - Anything involving class 47's.

Now where's those transfer papers for DRS....<(
--- old post above --- --- new post below ---
Diesel - 37/55 followed by most other 'classic traction' (which excludes 56s, 58s and 60s etc...)

What???? Ok 58's I can understand but 56's?????? They are so awesome to drive, a proper interested drivers engine. Trying to spool up that massive turbo & combine with brake release.....oh happy days. Then theres the more clag than a kettle element, followed shortly by the scream of a proper loco working, the noise that you just know wakes up whole neighbourhoods as you pass them by. Watching as car alarms get set off by the power at your fingertips, watching people & animals flee the area as the turbo belches flames out of the exhausts....................There is nothing better for a driver.

Oh & 60's do all that but in a more mundane way.

Both good proper UK loco's, do not disrespect them or I will send a fleet of 67;s around to where you live. <(

Isn't 43125 an FGW MTU? i had it Paignton - Reading back in the Summer.

Anyway here's mine. . .

Units are **** but still i'll say the 1 that if i had to choose to travel on one it would be. . .

EMU - 323
DMU - [There aint one in which i would travel round out of choice]
DEMU - 222
Diesel Loco (Old) - 20/31/33/37/40/43(Valenta)/50/52/55/56
Diesel Loco (New) - 59/60/66
Eectric Loco - 92/87/86

By the way no way would i want to travel behind a 47 out of choice, but obviously i would if it was a choice between a 47 and DMU/EMU, but not 47 Vs 37, you understand what i mean by now.

323s aren't too bad, they do the job and sound quite funny (bit like a Notworker IIRC). Haven't been on one though, so can't comment on the innards.

I'm not a fan of 323s. Not very comfortable, or nice to be in at all. They do make cool noises though lol
