More info below!

Class 90 Manufacturer: BREL (1987-1990) Model: n/a Designed as a modernised version of the Class 87 for both freight and passenger use. Procured due to the impracticality of using Class 91s for freight traffic.

Class 455 Manufacturer: BREL (1982-1985) Model: BR Second Generation (Mark 3 Derived) Designed as a passenger commuter train for the Southern region, using the same bodyshell as the Class 317 and 318. To save on costs, the /7 subclass uses a carriage from a Class 508, which were shortened when moved to Liverpool.

Class 99 Manufacturer: Stadler (?) Model: Euro Dual A diesel and electric bi-mode locomotive designed to replace Class 66s on intermodal freight.

Class 88 Manufacturer: Vossloh (2015-2016), Stadler (2016) Model: Euro Dual Designed as a bi-mode variant of the Class 68. Used for freight traffic over primarily electrified routes.

Tried to upload these pictures of Direct Rail Services 88009 "Diana" and 57311 "Thunderbird" the other day but that stupid Tumblr app glitched out again and the upload failed. Which sucks. Anyway, they're here now, so enjoy.
