    Interesting comments. Personally, I don’t think they’re ugly and, being manufactured by Stadler, they’re likely to be more reliable than other manufacturers (CAF, Bombardier etc.). Stadler has a good reputation for quality. I like older locos too, especially the Classic 37s and 47s, and its good to see the Class 69s. But time and technology marches onward. Fortunately there are still plenty of opportunities to see classic British built diesels on heritage lines.

      it's an unintended consequence of BR's locomotive policy. However well intentioned to boost local industry BR's policy of "Buy British" meant that there was little foreign competition, especially from American builders which were about 30 years ahead in their development by the mid 1950s, to force the domestic builders to up their standards. That coupled with the infrequent need for new units by BR over the years meant that by the 90s the domestic locomotive market had stagnated to the point where EMD was able to easily trounce our best designs.

      The diesel engine has enough power to run on unelectrified lines, it can do just under 1,750HP combined with the battery power. It'll mainly work passenger services, covering for shortage of Class 91's until the IC225's are withdrawn from LNER and sent off for either scrap or to either TFW or Grand Union, or maybe even Chiltern.

      The diesel engine is 1200hp and the battery can add another 500hp short term (plus being able to be recharged from either the diesel or regenerative braking) so they're more or less equivalent to a 37 away from the wires.
      I think the intention is to use them mostly for intermodal traffic on electrified routes, but this makes them much more flexible - not just a last mile diesel, but last fifty if needs be.

      @thatlonewolfguy2878 I think the intention is to run 100mph intermodals with the diesel/batteries giving some diversion/last/shunting mile capability. Obviously that means new wagons as well, but that way they'll slot in better between passenger workkngs where there are capacity limits.
      So not exactly a 37 replacement, more an upgrade on 86 or 66 powered liner trains.

      True the engines are under powered compared to other diesel locos. However air resistance drag is equal to the square of speed. 50mph^2 and 100mph^2 means 4 times more air resistance for the latter.. Faster you go the more the locos traction motors are spending more of their total energy in... fighting the wind!
      I'm not sure what the true haulage speeds for a rake of containers with these new bi modes off the wires might actually be. I'm just trying to say that a loco say half the power of another older style diesel or electric defo isn't half the speed. Unless the old locos did 2mph top speed and the new ones do 1mph 🤣

Much better than older diesel locos in terms of quality, emissions and performance. However, I will stick with the growling unsettled idle of the 37 with plumes of black smoke. The deep thrum of the 60 and the distinctive industial sound of the 59, 66 & 67. Old fashioned mechanical engineering without apologies.
