HST Demise
I remember seeing the first HST sets when under construction at a works open day in 1976, Derby I think. At that time they were seen as the first racehorses of the BR fleet since the Deltics. Of course they were faster and more streamlined than the Deltics, but not as aesthetically brutish as the shape of the 55s.
As for preservation, well this is a possibility, who would have thought that a Metro-Vick Co-Bo, or should that be BO-CO, would have survived in preservation. Maybe even a HST may find it's way to Sodor, who knows.
