Class 50 - The Love/Hate Locomotive

Good morning! :D

In today's video, we cast our eye over the Class 50, a staple of the British Railway scene for over half a century and now a much loved part of the preservation scene. However, all was not well for the 50s, as despite their lightweight but powerful design, the locomotives were initially maligned upon their arrival on the Western Region, before being plagued by reliability faults during their latter years.
