Hello
This topic (im sure) has been done before, but im wondering what makes unpopular class of loco on our preserved lines? Regarding the KWVR line up for their gala in may i came across a post celebrating the fact that no 47's/Duffs/Spoons were present.
I suspect that Bonnets/Peaks are held in the same regard. It cant be mass production given the justified love of a Class 37, and it cant be a british engine thingy given our appreciation of other classes with their Sulzer & Maybach prime movers, so i was just a bit curious thats all!
For me i do have my favourites, Deltics & Westerns, but equally 45133 & D1501 are two lovely looking (& sounding) locos on our heritage network, so perhaps its.........sound?
