There are entire streets devoted to it, I think that 90% of the shops along The Shambles in York are fudge shops!

After all this talk of fudge it's hard to imagine that this thread started off discussing Freightliner's new diesel loco order from GE in America.:)
The first photos of the actual loco are now available in this leaflet. If you thought 66's were ugly then take a look at this.:eek: http://www.freightliner.co.uk/filelibrary/PDFs/news/Fact%20Sheet.pdf |
That's one uggly buggly loco.

I knew there was a reason that I was not keen on Diesel traction. Now I know I was right. What happened to the nice clean lines of the class 37's 40s' 44's and 47's. They looked British and were British.
|
Now, I'm not British. I don't mind the look of 59s and 66s, and I think 58s are ugly. I still say this new one is worse. As with GEs vs. EMDs in North America, it seems GE can't make a passable cab.
But, seriously, I recognize the visibility advantages of this design. Like the 58, a "dogbone" configuration maximizes forward visibility in both directions while allowing some rearward visibility. And the single windshield is obviously best. |
Looks like a 58 thats already been in an accident to me. Hope its better for the drivers though !
