47579 - I remember being on an East Mids Ranger sometime in the early 1980s and this loco being turned out day after day on the Harwich Parkeston Quay - Manchester Piccadilly and return boat train. Happy days!

Whilst I am a steam railway enthusiast, I will admit that diesel locomotives shouldn't be overlooked. :)

[@Sophiebryson510]

Whereas i’m the opposite, i am a diesel enthusiast, but steams is always worth a go

Diesel electric does not mean it is an hybride

[@RHTeebs]

An internal combustion engine powering electric motors? Sounds like a hybrid to me.

Love the series. Hate the overpowering music.
