Hi there Train Lovers, There have been a few comments and suggestions about our Top 10 Lists on the most Beautiful and Ugly Trains, Here is a challenge of what to do if you are unhappy or think it is wrong. If you are unhappy with our Top 10 List, why not make your own Top 10 list and put it in the comments and we will do a revised Top 10 List in a few months time. Thanks for your time, Glasgow Life

Well I don't know about top 10s but at the moment Class 312s and Class 43s are my top two all time favourites.

Unfortunately for the mallard, when the 5550 Project is completed and a new T1 class steam locomotive is built, they might set the new speed record, this is due to the fact of how the T1 was said to have set it in the mid 40s-50s although it was never really confirmed...

Guess most people were thinking it had to be a current train. Only way to explain only 2 steamers in the list. Some of the modern streamlined locos / trains look ok but it appears to me that people are not thinking of the loco/ train as a living thing which was the real attraction with steam it lived and breathed as it did its work

The IC225 should have been far higher up the list imo, beautiful train with chime horn. Blunt end of Class 91 means better aerodynamics when coupled to carriages as is the case for Class 43 of course.

sorry but the class 68 is the ugliest train i seen, looks like the nissan juke, the ugliest car i seen

GO HST!!!!! Love the roar of the engines at max power, will be a shame when they are finally gone. I hope at least 2 power cars are preserved.

My personal good units list would be (in no particular order) Steam - Galatea, Tornado, Flying Scotsman The rest - Class 43 (only specific liveries and headlight variations) Class 66 (only specific liveries and V2 Headlights), Class 68, Class 88, Class 92, Class 170/171/172 (ex London Midland, gangways), Class 185, Class 195, Class 222, Class 318, Class 331, Class 374, Class 377, Class 385, Class 387, Class 390, Class 700/707/717, Class 800/801/802.

A beautiful video. Hello from the Tracy Mountain Railway in Colorado. ♡ T.E.N.

Why is the class 43 intercity 125 theme is Gundam theme song?

It's interesting to see shout-outs for the Deltics in the comments. I would agree, though both the prototype and the production locomotives were considered aesthetically unsatisfactory at the time. The prototype drew criticism for its outlandish livery. Then some people thought the production design was dull. Wilkes & Ashmore had modeled a more stylised design for the production locos, with sculpted nose ends and wrap-around glass, but BR rejected it on cost grounds.

New video needed to show the 397, genuinely a beautiful unit.

A little bit surprised that the Pendolino wasn't slightly higher on the list. I also thought that the Virgin Super Voyager was worth a mention. Otherwise not a bad list at all.

The flying Scotsman isn't the first steam locomotive to hit 100 mph it's actually the new york centrals 999 that hit 112.5 mph in 1893

What about the 9F and the 3F Fowler?
