    Steam: GWR Castle Class
    Diesel Loco: HST (they're not really DMUs)
    Electric Loco: Class 91
    DMU: Class 222 Meridian
    EMU: Class 377 Electrostar (I haven't ridden a 397 yet though, based on looks and performance I'll probably like them more assuming they're fun to ride).

    Sadly didn't get any HST pictures due to cancellations due to the flooding and ScotRail being safe by not repeating Carmont 2020, good job Network Rail and ScotRail, saw NR's helicopter monitoring the rails this morning going towards Aberdeen, was cool to see it up close, sadly didn't get a picture of it but nevertheless saw it :)

  17. The old thumper's are my favourite. 50 years old and still more comfortable than most modern trains!
