    No clue if any of the assumptions in the video are reasonable given current UK railway conditions or the Sodor lore. Just thought it sounded interesting as a "what if?"

    I watched that this morning. I thought it was pretty interesting. The idea of Class 66's on the Island is amusing lol.

    Yeah, that and the idea that the HST is a "common sight" and felt really old that's considered in the "retired" category with steam locomotives. But, well... it is as old as I am so a 50 year run is pretty good =-)
    There's something quaint and amusing about the thought of saddletank steam locos and Class 66s coexisting.
    I do wonder... is that "Walter" engine the one moving the nuclear fuel around too? Or do they bring in their own Class 20 or Class 68 to do it?

    I mean.... yes... since cargo is cargo, but the video of a steam loco pulling intermodals was ridiculous yet quaint =-)
