Gone to the great railway in the sky no doubt.

We've still got a Class 121 'bubble car' which operates on the Cardiff Queen Street to Cardiff Bay shuttles. (When it's actually 'in service' that is).

A right pain to work, with a useless heating system too.

Saying that, I do enjoy the sound of that Leyland 0.680 with SCG gearbox!

This area was awash with 37s on the coal traffic.

And until a few years back, we had a few stabled at Rhymney hauling 4-coach rakes on peak-hour workings. I even had two top'n'tailed 37s on the Treherbert line once, due to a Pacer/Sprinter shortage - pain in the neck though on intensive Valleys services.

Bit of a '47' bloke meself though :y

Me to.....

Yes, the valleys had plenty of 37's!
you should go to Inverness there's somtimes a double header 47's sleeper thats leaves at 20:30 every night and its some thrash up the hill notch X required  ;) :y
some real sulzer thrash none of that english electric all noise no action crap ;D ;D
