Well said sir!
Ie, they have low particulate missions- environmentally friendlyhere is why i hate them:
1. they don't clag
In other words, they're quiet, making running of nightime freight through towns more acceptable2. they don't thrash
Granted, it would be nice if British industry was up to making a quality product affordably3. they are not british
granted. A little thought in the aesthetics department would have improved things. However, it's a friggin freight mover- there's little need for good looks.4. they look ugly
You're back to #2 aren't you?5. they sound horrible
2.They indeed do thrash (go see a DRS one on the WCML)
That Design is a vast improvement shame it wont be adopted.
Here's the best class 66 what if ever http://fictitiousliveries.fotopic.net/p44452725.html
The thing is, though, that I reckon if they did all look like that, then simply because there are so many of them, people would still consider them boring.
Thats the problem everyone starts off hating them pureley just beacause of their numbers and what they took over from in this case being 37's 47's 58's 56's etc.
People used to hate 47's and also 86's so I imagine eventually people will all start to grow to love these noble beasts.
No. To both points. They are dull as dishwater - just like 862xx to me.Thats the problem everyone starts off hating them pureley just beacause of their numbers and what they took over from in this case being 37's 47's 58's 56's etc.

How many 66's are there?
There were 508 47's at one time yes?

I wouldn't say it is just because there are too many of them - 59s are equally crap IMO.
