Diesel Classics; Czech Goggles.

Among the European diesels with the most distinctive styling are the Czech class 750 (and related classes 753/754/755).

These are colloquially known as ‘Goggles’ because of their extended cab profile.

Last month (October 2016), I was pleased to find a variety of Goggles working freight and passenger services, many of them in fresh paint.
