I'm pleased it carries LT branding, albeit (alas) with what looks like the Metropolitan Railway coat of arms.

My reasoning? London Transport loves diesel traction. It closed down all its electric street transports and converted them to diesel. The Metropolitan Railway was a steam and electric railway - not diesel.

I accept that my point of view will be seen as contrary by many people, so I apologise in advance if what I say here upsets anyone.
