I think it's more nostalgia than anything else. Class 47s and HSTs were everywhere when I was a kid, and I hated both, but now they are almost extinct I miss both. The 460 is cool, but the 458 has a face only a mother could love.
I do like a 460, but ditto on the 458 looks. I don’t dislike HST’s in the same way I don’t dislike IET’s but they’re both equally bland in their long distance roles. In game I can certainly enjoy a 43 run on MML & then an 802 run on Riviera, but I couldn’t use either for hours on end like I could a 465 or a 158. I do get a chuckle out of the whole ‘one handle’ thing though, asif a 3 step brake is some sort of wizardry. In any case the Class 90 will be nice to get in game, hope we get a few more designs of that era.
