Hi guys

New here and from Scotland so it has to be class 37's but i would say class 37/4s as there are the best of best 37405 on the Fort William to Edinburgh/London Sleeper in the pitch black round the Horseshoe curve was in the coach next to loco amazing thrash.

Also anything EE is up there with best class 20 nose first anybody

regards

Dave

Having grew up with steam and never seen our diesels in real life (everything here in Oz is USA stuff these days) I have to say I like them all, I have hundreds of hours of British diesels in action on DVD so I guess I am entitled to pick a favorite but instead wit pick my top 3 not in order.

Class 55  -  37   -  47  and 45  oh oh thats 4

As a 'Newbie' I am clearly joining this very late but my favourite is the 60, although for character the 37 is a close second!

Flounder

Devious and his little brothers. And class 25.

Class 70, followed closely by a Class 66. 

50's and 08's

47 always

shaun

For me it is the class 37. Closely followed by 47/56 and in third place the legendary HST class 43.

Hmmm  difficult one this, (too many favourites).
It has to be a Class 31 followed by Classes 40, 20 (in pairs), 44 and 47 (in original condition).

Oh and of course a Class 56!

I've already answered this one... but as it's a popular topic today, i think i'll have another bite of the cake !

Absolute favorite is a class 52 'Western', followed by class 25 and class 60. I'm also a big fan of shunters - Sentinels being my favorite (LMR 'General Lord Robertson' 0-8-0 DH is top of the list).

I'm still loving Class 60's and Class 58's but now I have a thing for Class 66's......

Like 4x2 I answered this one before but after having a small fleet of diesels I got sick of them, I guess its because there ain't much to look at, like motion,"personal opinion only", traded all my model diesels in on steamers today 
I therefor retract any preference for any diesel I may have liked in past posts 

I look forward to seeing your new stud of steamers, Dave
Even for diehard steam lovers, there's still no reason why you can't have a favourite diesel, although I have to say the Class 55's and Class 37's are too popular IMHO.
Give me hydraulics or 8 axle jobbies any time
