    The window height in the cabs seems low giving them a 'hunch-back' look - what about Quasi's???

    I thought that 'Mingers' was quite apt.

    It's almost as though someone said "right, chaps, let's take these designs for classes 58, 67 and 92, and let's take all the worst elements of those designs aesthetically, combine them into one engine and voila".

    Hideous. Even a 66 looks better.

    I still like "Plug"...the front end just needs a fuse fitting for it to work properly! ;)

    Just think that would probably have all fitted nicely within a 'Western' bodyshell .....

    Ah, but that would imply an appreciation of style on the part of the designers...

    Interesting thought though. I never did get to see the Westerns in service.
