British Rail Class 71/74 Opinions

[mbv67]

Hello people, mbv67 here to talk about the British Rail Southern Region's Class 71 Type HA and The Class 74 Type HB electric and electro-diesel locomotives.

Here Express your opinions cause I kinda like the class 71 because of its dual electric use of the third rail and pantograph.

Although the class 71's had pantographs and 3rd rail they only used the overhead at slow speeds in freight yards, whereas a class 74, or 73, could go anywhere.

How about a class 92 with overhead and 3rd rail and a maximum speed of 90 mph on either !

And can be used on the European system as well!
