Got to be classic AC electrics for me, though I threw in the 76 as if we ever get Woodhead as a route, pretty much de-riguer.
Correction here Class 88 is actually an Electro-Diesel Locomotive like Classes 73 74 & 93. This locomotive can work on GWE if modernized
Another vote for the 76 here for a future Woodhead line. I'd also be very happy with any of the first gen WCML electric locos.
Too many to choose from unfortunately! 73, 85,86,87,89,90 and 91 lol Edit - I wasn’t aware you could pick more than one! Now voted lol
86 or 87 with a set of Mk2 air con in blue/grey with the wooden insides and blue square moquertted seats.
I’d love an 87 or in place of it any of the locos leading up to it that had the tap changers for power. Anything later than an 87 and some of the fun (and skill) would be lost.
Class 93 is the new tri-mode locomotives ordered by Rail Operations Group. They are going to be very similar to the Class 68/88s https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Rail_Class_93_(Stadler)
