Most of the time a great locomotive on freight were you can travel many miles at 75mph very relaxing. With the speed pre-set the train drives itself, nice clean, warm cabs easily the best. On a greasy or damp rail they can however be lively! The Steam Men would think they'd died and gone to heaven, also Diesels seem ponderous in comparison. Shows British Engineering could build a very good locomotive before the mania for cheap and foreign became the vogue!
