Do HSTs count?

What is the highest ever number of entries in any one POTW competition? I suspect we may have a new record come next Sunday...

--- old post above --- --- new post below --- And I assume DMU is small passenger trains, not diesel electric locomotives in multiple unit. Hmmm. Last edited by Grantham; 25th June 2012 at 01:01. Reason: Double post prevention system |

They were classified as DMU's to start with, but the power cars (Class 43's) were then classified as locomotives. Personally I'd say they aren't DMU's, but then, like I said, others will think the exact opposite

Hurray, I have lots to choose from for a change!
And I don't think that HSTs come under DMU. In the Platform 5 book, they are in the loco section.

Ahh...I detect some controversy! I won't post a HST photo then, but for your entertainment I'll share one here: Our XPTs are very nearly a direct copy of your HST125s (or whatever they are/were). For what it's worth (not much!) I would have counted these as a DMU...
 I'll post something different in the comp. |

On the subject of HST: They are class 43. That's a locomotive. They never run in multiple. They are not a true fixed formation....
The evidence doesn't support the term Multiple *UNIT*. The old TOPS code is long obsolete and doesn't fit with the current practice. I'm no judge or jury, but I'd be wary of accepting an HST pic under the terms of DMU.
