Class 170 or Class 375/377. I think they are all fantastic builds and I can't wait to see the new 172s! (Again, personal preference!)

Well, I cant drag it down to a single loco, so Ill take sections:

Diesel Loco: Class 55 Deltic, just for the oily clag :P
Electric Loco: Gotta be the 86/87s for some good Mk3 coaching runs.
DMU: Class 158, best british DMU ever built, was British Rail, was quiet, was only RA 2 and has lovely ride quality.
EMU: Class 350/1, 2+2 seating and everything you need but a power plug.

Hope this fits :P
