Well before hybrids became popular, we had the class 73. These unassuming locos were obviously way ahead of their time!

The class 73 was always quite special when you lived up north. You had to travel to the world of third rail (invariably) to see these things. Always liked them, still do, though their use on Caledonian Sleepers still messes with my head!
