Class 55 Or 56

How about a 56 for TVL or a 50 GWE? Both great looking and sounding locos. The 47’s and 37’s are in need of some company I reckon.

 

Sorry the title should be 50 not 55

 

...Not that a Class 55 would be unwelcome surely?

Mmm... Deltics.

 

Any or all three (50, 55, 56) would be welcome, though the Deltic does not as yet have a natural home in TSW.

Actually though, thinking about it didn't they spend a brief period towards the end of their working lives on Liverpool to Newcastle services via Standege? i.e. NTP. Of course no potential to get them up to the ton, but better than nothing.

 

Well of course 55’s would be welcome.

Absolutely not unwelcome. There can never be too many UK diesels.

 

Any new UK diesels of old would be welcome. The 56 would be a natural addition to the freight scene on TSW2

 

56 has two versions BREL and Romanian made. Class 55 are meant for ECML
