After all this talk of fudge it's hard to imagine that this thread started off discussing Freightliner's new diesel loco order from GE in America.
![]() The first photos of the actual loco are now available in this leaflet. If you thought 66's were ugly then take a look at this. ![]() http://www.freightliner.co.uk/filelibrary/PDFs/news/Fact%20Sheet.pdf

I knew there was a reason that I was not keen on Diesel traction. Now I know I was right. What happened to the nice clean lines of the class 37's 40s' 44's and 47's. They looked British and were British.

Now, I'm not British. I don't mind the look of 59s and 66s, and I think 58s are ugly. I still say this new one is worse. As with GEs vs. EMDs in North America, it seems GE can't make a passable cab.
But, seriously, I recognize the visibility advantages of this design. Like the 58, a "dogbone" configuration maximizes forward visibility in both directions while allowing some rearward visibility. And the single windshield is obviously best.
