Since I don’t think I will be able to stream much this week. Here is something for you to enjoy for the time being. Sorry for the lack of updates on the cross country HST video. The video is way too long to edit and I can’t decide what to cut.

Well before hybrids became popular, we had the class 73. These unassuming locos were obviously way ahead of their time!

The class 73 was always quite special when you lived up north. You had to travel to the world of third rail (invariably) to see these things. Always liked them, still do, though their use on Caledonian Sleepers still messes with my head!
