Well as much as I want to believe all of that Rassy I can't.
We need to start using energy saving bulbs and to recycle now.
Even if global warming is not true (which it most likely is but not as drastic) then natural resouces are.
If we use fossil fuels less then we can keep using it for the essential aspects of life or find a way to make it last and neutralise the emmissions.
The effects of pollution are obvious in the city.

When the ice caps are concerned they cannot be melting fast as the temperature is still far below zero all year round.
Enough to keep it at the present thickness anyway.

Back to trains- I would like to see some designs for a hydrogen powered train as they could well be the future.
Hydrogen is of course the most abundant thing in the universe and the only emmission would be water.
I think that this excess water could be used to power a steam booster.

To the original topic- all of the HST's have been re engined so none of the original examples exist.

PS: you may have noticed I am not using commas where they are needed recently and this is because the comma button is on the blink.
