RMweb Gold trw1089 Posted May 22, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 22, 2020 Have to go with a Western after seeing and hearing Western Champion when I was in Blighty one time. Love the cropped shot of the B17, Gilbert. Any shot with a B17 has to be a good one! Cheers Tony 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s also shunters (which should keep Clive happy) and type 1s. Perhaps they could be combined if you don’t think there are enough type 1s. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodenhead Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 So many type 4s to choose from but I'll go with the one and only class 40. I think we know the winner of the type 5, why even bother with a vote. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted May 22, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 22, 2020 Meanwhile, back on Planet PN, I prefer the cropped version. 2 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Market65 Posted May 22, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 22, 2020 I’m going with the whistling, bulky, solid class 40, EE Type 4. Always been a personal favourite of mine. Rob. P.S. Both of the B17 photo’s are good, with the cropped one enabling the viewer to concentrate better on the beautiful engine. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're just a HST in wolf's clothing. Actually, made me think, the HST is a type 4, it made a wonderful screaming sound until they put in a bus sound decoder. The one I am thinking about had a much more macho bass sounding engine note and had the looks to match, and given the thread we are in, any other diesel loco would be an honourable mention only. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No they are not. A HST had a super duper version of the class 29 engine (to start with). A Grid is a Brush 4 with a super duper version of 10000's engine in it. And a Bone has an extra super duper version of 10001's engine with 4 less cylinders in ........whoops I might be giving my vote away. 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Popular Post great northern Posted May 22, 2020 Author RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted May 22, 2020 Fighting for a supermarket delivery slot again. Unsuccessfully. I did manage to get a click and collect slot at Melton Mowbray though, so next week I get a drive through the Vale of Belvoir, which will be nice. That's if the car still knows how to move. Another go at the image south of Crescent Bridge, using the angle that met with some approval. 22 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
