Even cheaper if its double discount day! Seriously though they are rubbish locos.This months ASLEF Journal contains a letter from a DBS Knottingley Driver outlining the flaws with them.The most worrying being the amount of brake dust that gets sucked in to the cabs along with the non excistent suspension.The only thing I like about them is the amount of leg room! I wonder if Euro Cargo looked round the DBS fleet to see what they ll look like in the not too distant future?

funny you should say that, i found a picture of the Dash 9 pulling it

I think the UK should get a few Dash 9's patrolling the lines or SD40's

If SD40's fitted over here the class 66 would never have been built...
