    Heyo!, sorry for my thread spam!, but i had another idea. Is it feasable at all to Potentially create a Bi Mode 385?, I'm thinking of it as a sort of Baby 800. Could a downscaled version of the MTU Engine in the class 802 Be used? or a new Hydrogen Unit be developed Class '384'? I could see...

    Scotrail Class 68's? further uses?

    Hey sorry if it's also dumb to ask or that, But i kinda felt like it'd be a missed oppurtinity for scotrail 68's to just be used on the fife circle line?

    Class 68's on Caledonian Sleeper?

    i've heard a lot about the class 67's and 73/9's being problematic , and it just makes me wonder if sometime it'd maybe be worth hiring in class 68's to do sleeper duties maybe when the 68's on the fife circle line get replaced, this could be potential work for them. I know the 67's are...

    wikipedia isn't saying a lot, and it'd be amazing to at least see this on a charter run, any news at all about the possibility of the class 89 being allowed a run out to track or will it just remain static until it fades away or is scrapped?

    Should scotrail invest in a rescue locomotive?

    Sorry if this thread is dumb, but i'm wondering, as scotrail is acquiring the HST's which could break down at some point and they are bringing in new emu's , would it maybe make sense for scotrail to get themselves a rescue locomotive in the shape of something like a class 67 or a 57/extra 68...
