Hello all,
Having been looking through YouTube videos of people talking about the days of BR in the 1980s, apparently there were cases of some classes of traction being more popular than others. E.g. popuar model railway YouTuber IC82 has said that the Class 58 was regarded as "rubbish" by many enthusiasts and was not popular. What traction has been popular/unpopular in the past? What's popular now? I know I probably sound really uncool and out of tune with the world of railways, but seen as I have only recently gotten into the different traction types and the work that surrounds them (exams, diagrams, etc.).
Any help greatly appreciated.
-Peter
