A quick tot-up of my 1961/2 Ian Allan 'Combine' shows approx. 250 different
classes of locos, steam/diesel/electric/gas turbine, and that's without all the departmental locos, sub-classes, etc!
Those 66s are fine locos but they've done nothing for variety on the current scene - we should all endeavour to photograph and record the older designs whilst they're still there. Looking back at some of my shots taken in the 90s, it's amazing how 'dated' many of them look already - at the time I was just recording the contemporary scene but regretting not having taken shots in previous decades.
