Hate to be a Party Pooper here but what on earth happened to Britain's locomotive building industry?, as everyone knows in the steam days Britain and America exported loco's all over the world now it seems its just America, I never thought I would see the day that American power would run on British steel in such a big way, looks like Britain is destined to be like Australia where just about everything is American built or built under license in Australia, one of the things I used to admire most about locomotives in Britain was that they were unique to that country, I have nothing against American loco's but I guess I am just a little sad that the American loco's are getting a bit of a stranglehold on the UK.
