I've had a few spells at Bashing.. one youthful from 1989 to 1992 ( then I wished I was born earlier) one a bit later in life to get the Rhymneys along with lots of charters and the Pres lines and looking at UK rail more recently.. it's started to get a little more interesting again.. I plan maybe to sample 68 and 67 as I haven't tried either as yet.. lucky to have been hauled by 20s, 25s, 26s, 27s, 31s, 33s, 35s, 37s, 40s, 43s, 45s, 46s, 47s, 50s, 52s, 55s, 56s, 60s, 66s, 73s, 81s, 85s, 86s, 87s, 90s, 91s and even 92s over the years ... sampled 37s on the Cambrian just after Barmouth re-opened.. had 20s over the S and C.. went for a run on the then soon to end Fort William 37s with 37406 basically falling apart.. 47s and 50s on the sea wall... freight only lines.. literally all sorts... 40s and 47s are the best for me with 37s shortly after.. but I find all locos pretty cool... the proverbial NED! I feel for a new generation trying to keep it alive and yes liking the 319s as opposed to the new breeds... it's like anything else.. the first gen DMUs became nostalgic in the end.. pacers and 150s are becoming so now.. they do kinda thrash with the hydraulic transmission...oh and one day I hope they get that Co-bo going at the ELR for giggles... at least Pres keeps it alive.. it's not the same but it's close..
