Rare Trains - something you don't see everyday

Well, class 37's were frequent around 2-3 years ago, because I live near the Sheerness steel mill, which closed down.
On another note, earlier this year, I saw 73201 'Broadlands' running light engine through Sittingbourne.

The Norfolk & Western steam-turbine-electric looks like a mean beast of a train! I'd love to hear the horn/whistle!
