Reading the current issue of Hornby magazine I realised what an icon the HST really is - 40 years old, still going strong (OK, well modified over the years, but still largely "as is) & still looking good. By now it must be well past it's "sell by" date - anyone know what it's design life actually was ?
The road transport equivelent must surely be the Routemaster bus, which well exceeded it's design life in front line London service with only a few now remaining on the heritage fleet.
What other transport icons can forum members think of ?
