I know. If steam trains in the UK became oil fired, they probably would have lasted longer. Look how long the Germans lasted. 1980 they lasted. 1968 with the UK

And most of ours are still running, too. I mean, Flying Scotsman's actually being renovated right now to return to mainline service   = P

Or maybe because the Germans didn't need new trains.


Germans always make good stuff.

No, Nazism came before Hitler. It was German.

You mean Fascism. Nazism was just a form of it in Germany, and then championed by Hitler.

Flying Scotsman's probably my favourite. The Peppercorn Class (Like the Tornado) was also quite brilliant.
