Classes 41 and 53

[D1042 Western Princess]

For those of us (like me) who are a bit fuzzy with their Warships and thought "but GF did one not so long ago, and there's also the Minitrix one!?", the Class 41 was a prototype series of 5 locos which look similar to the Class 22 (Wikipedia).

On a similar point, the Class 53. Unfortunately I forget that not all here are of the 'trainspotting' ilk and to many these are just numbers.

Hang on, are you accusing me of not being of the trainspotting ilk?! There's some BRUTES at Birmingham New Street who would beg to differ. Tragically they only served to seat my posterior in the post-TOPS era, which means those funny D-number only machines are a bit before my time so to speak.

Railsquid, at least you know the difference between a D600 and a D800; I had assumed the whole point of your post was to let those who didn't know know, if you know what I mean?
I was merely doing the same (or trying to) for the Class 53.

Fing is, I didn't until I looked it up . No offence taken or anything like that

Well I have the Britannia Falcon and the MRC resin body class 41 on a class 47 chassis, professionally painted as D604 and they are fine by me.
Would love one of the EM1 Em2 DC electrics though.......anyone?

Pictures of D604 please!

Yep. Probably an EM1 given the choice, though the EM2 in NS grey-and-yellow livery with a pair of pantographs would look very tasty indeed...
