These 68 series locos are brilliant,I went on one to North Wales a couple of years ago,it was pretty nippy out of the station and accelerated up to top speed effortlessly,quick and quiet,that CAT engine is fantastic and does the job beautifully,a little bit of smoke while the Turbos spool up and then as clean as a whistle,outstanding.
Then stole my daughter's identity then stole my car to cover Bourne identity and what he is going to do Ile have to watch the movie then Ile update the system 😭
Brothers train broke down then the Abu hamza with 🖕 roll up was deployed then then they tried to put rash on child face to cover the ruby from today because I feel it in my body 😭
When you think of the old class 37s with their lumbering growl and then hear the 68s high pitched almost turbine like whine you realise that technology has moved on. The 37s did a herculean job over the years and were true workhorses and were all over the network.
Agreed. I used to see them & 55's when I was younger in Glencoe going to Kinlochleven or to Fort William on the mainline. I'll never forget the noise from the 55's....we all heard it in the village :) Kinlochleven used to have a massive dark cloud above it when I was a kid there; one walk (The Devils Staircase) used to follow the Hydro pipes down to Kinlochleven then you know you're nearly home. Rio Tintan, or whatever you call it wasn't there when I was a kid. The smelter in Kinlochleven nowadays I don't know about; I'm retiring from my Job in England in a few months and going back home to where I belong. :) I'll be going back to Ballachulish
The stolen car was to cover my growl nft theft with hackers cover situations to fight the princess of light symbolically then the princess did the same 😂
Look at Road. and Rails EM1 Speaker. Just type in Dapol Class 68 with EM1 for demo. Bass Speaker so need auxiliary speaker. Think R&R do them in paired units anyhow. Pretty impressive. Eliminates the 'tinny' noise.
I was stood next to one of the TPE 68s in Huddersfield a few weeks ago, and this video managed to capture the vibrations perfectly. Felt almost like I was stood back next to it.
I love these new type locos I live very close to a railway line in ashton under-Lyne and they sound good in tunnels I see a few a day on the transpennine route!!!

Same as the Deltic (starting up). A little cough as it clears its throat, then all clean

Sorry I stole the mouth shield which then made me cut my eyebrow
Karma I guess 😭

I've just realised that 68007 formerly worked the Scotrail operated Fife Circle Line peak time services. It worked said services up to March 2020.

When I first heard a 68 a Western came to my mind. High revs quick acceleration etc etc

I haven’t come across a model sound system that can emulate that sound yet. Brilliant.

ian gregory Yep. Tried that just now. Much better roar. Thanks.
Or an em2 speaker on a class 37 I have one on my channel . The bass rattles the layout

Straight to notch eight! Lovely sound these units make under load.
No, you can't do that. O-4-8. May sound like instant up to 8,but its smooth delivery of power in notching up. Many thanks,A Driver.
@@railfreightdrivergallagherGBRf Surely if you went straight up to 8 you would put the traction motors through the roof?!
@@andrewbarker8642 See my previous post!
@@andrewbarker8642It's AC traction, it won't care. Also traction motors don't care that much about throttle swipes
The most powerful British diesel since Kestrel went on a long weekend.
They arnt the most powerful
@@furiousgamer9522 Which British diesel locomotive in current service is then?
@@bjoe385 there the same as the 66 and 70
@@furiousgamer9522 Class 66 is 3300 Horsepower, class 70 is 3690 horsepower and class 68 is 3800 horsepower, according to the internet.
@@bjoe385 the 68 only puts 3300 to the rail
Probably one best looking newish locos on uk tracks now
Reminded me of the sound of a SD40-2

Need to name one Colin and one Cuthbert
This is an underrated comment😂
Came for a listen and as a bonus this is my home Station
My old man drives these for TPE and the 185s. He says they can really get a shift on when they want to.
The sound always reminds me of a knackered 47 pulling away hard.
I wish CSR SDA3 sound like this. They have the same Caterpillar engine yet all I can hear is the loud fan coming out of the locomotives
Good video clip 👌
As good a sound as the Deltic.
6k05 going over Whalley arches! 😎
Are the 68s related at all to the F125 in the states or is it just the same engine? I don't hear much about the class 68 being unreliable
Gee they pull.wat horsepower
really great!👌
Ex scotrail had a few miles of that
wish my company (TfW) took these on instead of the dreadful 67's!!!
Enjoyed it very much.Great video.
Oh yeah. He does look like a caterpillar. That's another nick name for the list.
A 66 on steroids 😱😱
Nothing like a 66 at all.
@@SteamboatWilley whatever mate
@@mikepeover9379 he's not wrong...
Why do the 68/88’s headlights alternate and flash instead of saying solid on or off?
It’s just the camera! Irl they are always on but the camera doesn’t pick them up too well
camera fps has something to do with jt
Sounds like SD40.
Looks much better now got rid of Crappy Scotrail Livery.
Hey, don't diss the Scotrail livery.The Scotrail livery looks good. And it's practically the same shade of blue anyway.
Yer tell us 🤔
will never have the sound of a class37 mmmmmmmmmmm now that was true english power mmmmm should i say english electric power well napier deltic engine
it WAS
