Then all we will need is a flood of brand new ETH fitted loco's to haul them.

I don't think there would be enough 57s,67s or leccie loco's around.

37s very few and far between.
47s as above but as rare as hens teeth
58s Can't remember if they were fitted or not but again none about.
59s 60s and 66s not fitted

Leccies never been passed on so can't say

My thought, It would be nice to see some nice comfy driver friendly loco's brought into this country.

There is one other problem, The bus companies that currently run the provisional services, i.e FIRST Scotrail, Arriva trains etc do not want thier drivers learning big loco's as this leaves the door open for the drivers heading off to the freight side where the wages are better.
