What would be your dream train?

[Terry Tait]

As the title suggests, I was wondering what people's dream/fantasy train would be.
Mine would be a 2EPB top and tailed by deltics being absolutely thrashd up the ECML.

Wouldn't a 2-coach train top-n-tailed by locos have a rather low maximum speed?

Yeah.
You need twelve 2EPBs Terry...

 

[Meerkat]

Anything fast, smooth, and with a big comfy reclining armchair in a compartment just for me and anyone travelling with me.
And a waitress bringing me fine food and drink.
Oh and with big windows plus a big telly showing the forward facing camera feed (that cuts off if the driver hits emergency braking!)

A train that is quiet, has a buffet counter and comfortable seats.

Gosh I miss having HSTs on the mainline. I'd be perfectly content with a trip from Cardiff to Paddington, with a buffet car and a first class carriage to myself.

 

[LOL The Irony]

An RT-23 and a Schwerer Gustav top & tailed by 2 ES64 U2's at each end

Some shiny 37's top and tailing the longest possible formation of mark III's so I can have some fresh air out of the drop lights, with one coach that didn't have any seats but a well stocked bar to include draught and dimmed lights and music and a pub atmosphere and another full coach for dining with good food and drinks with a decent menu choice and sensible prices then the rest of the coaches some decent comfortable seats to rest or sleep it all off.

 

[Desiro360]

A multiple unit train that was fast with ten coaches, comfortable seats, a buffet counter, an onboard bar, and suitable luggage space.

An ICE1 gets pretty close.
