Hi everyone,

Just registered on this board - seems like a friendly place.

I am a big fan of HSTs. I have wanted for years to see inside the cab of a Class 43 loco, see the engines etc. Does anyone know if this is ever possible?

All the best folks

Hugh

Welcome to the Forum e39Driver. I think most of us have an affection for the HST. Certainly my favourite way to travel on the modern railway. (Steam special excepted of course!)

Best wishes,

John H-T

Hi Hugh
welcome the to the Railway Forum. The HST's are a great machine although I prefered the Valenta's sound to the current engines.
Regards

Welcome
The HST have not done bad for a stop-gap solution for BR Derby, after the abandonment of the APT.
