The votes are in!
Thank you to all those who took time to vote in the 2022 N Gauge News Diesel & Electric poll. This was the first poll we have run, and it has returned some interesting results.
So, without further ado, here are the results!
Top 10 overall
The LMS D16/1 Twins are the overall winner of the poll, with the Class 205 Thumper unit and Class 25/3 hot on their heals. As a point of interest however, if we were to add the number of votes cast for a re-tooled Class 37 to those for the DRS modified versions, then the Class 37 would come in 2nd place just behind the twins.
