Prototype Deltic
My favorite diesel loco was the Prototype Deltic. Whilst firing at Kings Cross I was secondman on this loco on many occasions. For me it made a nice change to put the shovel down and put my feet up.

I always enjoyed driving class 47s,and also the 56s. A special mention for the class 37s - bloody horrible to prepare and work on but they would pull anything.
Worst locos for working on were the class 22s - the D63xx locos.Low in power,uncomfortable and very much prone to failure. Always enjoyed the class 31s,although not the most powerful. They had a most comfortable cab. |

In the early years I only liked trains for the way they looked, these locos that got me into 'thrash'! In the early years I was a spotter, these locos got me into 'bashing' - THE CLASS 37. Reliable, makes sweet music, nice shape and simply the best!
Class 37s have pretty much been a constant presence in my life. I've grew up with them and they are STILL HERE TODAY! They really have stood the test of time and I'm so pleased it's a engine that means to so much to me. Long live the 'Tractors'....
