Diesel locomotive? take a guess?
Metrovick Co-Bos?
SnapLocomotives: Deltics no contest, closely followed by Westerns & Warships.
Unit: would have to be the Blue Pullman & HST train sets, the latter preferably powered by the original Paxman Valenta power units.
It's also fascinating how many have chosen HSTs,they were hated during my bashing years in the 80s.

Loved those bouncy seats and the diesel smell when leaning out the window
I wonder if it could be an age thing? I was born in the mid 70s so as a young child HSTs were new, exciting, vaguely futuristic and looked different to anything else in service, as a result they were THE train I wanted to travel on and I've never really lost that fascination. I wouldn't be at all surprised if a significant chunk of the people voting for HSTs are of a broadly similar age range or a little younger.
