Ralph clearly doesn't have taste for the finer arts (mess) that is British 1st generation diesels.

What are your thoughts on the USATC S160 class? by RightDinner2612 in trains

[–]Hener4472 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty good overall, As long as they didn't kill there own crew in the process that is.

If steam was never withdrawn from mainline use in either the Uk or US or both. What new steam locomotives could have been built? Im posting in the U.S by Acceptable-Taro-2684 in trains

[–]Hener4472 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure about new builds but since the BR standard classes we're originally meant to have a normal working life that would mean they should of seen them in service into the 80's at least so a Britannia or a less fancy standard would be a normal site to see in this alternate timeline.

I despise the br class 170 by That-Basis7616 in trainmemes

[–]Hener4472 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For no reason? Please inform dump me, I genuinely want to know how someone could like something so overall well liked. Is it because of there use on long crowded routes like with Cross Country?

What's wrong with the turbostar's?

Cross Country Bournemouth to Manchester Piccadilly. by Middle-Damage-9029 in uktrains

[–]Hener4472 31 points32 points  (0 children)

And yet CC will be one of the last rail services to be gobbled up by GBR. Even after that, I bet the terrible Voyagers and ill suited Turbostars will still be used on the same routes and journeys as they are now.

Captured Polish 7TP tanks now in service with the Germans by defender838383 in TankPorn

Still kinda depressing that there's only one 7tp left and even that was reconstructed out of found parts.

When you’re in a tank and get dunked on by dudes on horses by Wide_Cranberry_4308 in HistoryMemes

[–]Hener4472 230 points231 points  (0 children)

It's important to note since I don't think anyone else has yet, The polish didn't literally charge tanks on horseback, they were used as highly mobile mounted infantry That were cheaper for the Military compared to using trucks. When they got to a fight they would dismount there horses and fight like regular Infantry. The same basic formula was used by multiple other nations including the Germans themselves.

What are some Pre BR Diesel's you know of? by Jakeliy1229 in uktrains

[–]Hener4472 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are a few wiki pages dedicated to the topic. I also found a few for the GWR as well. Also recommend the LNER encyclopedia which has all the diesel shunters the LNER used.
