FANTASTIC!! I could watch and listen to that video over and over and over again....which is what I just did, with the BASS on my speakers turned right up! God love the HST Valenta! Thanks for sharing. If only I could get a model HST sounding as good on my 00 Gauge layout, check it out! Cheers.
In human history, there are the chosen few - disciples, world leaders, astronauts to name a few. But, surely, the drivers of the HST 125's rank up there among the best! Or, were they just lucky to be able to play with such amazingly, beautiful, grown-up toys? Boy, what a privilege!
William Rance- My uncle was lucky enough to Drive 43's (amongst others as an Intercity, RES & Then EW&S. Sadly no longer with us but particularly when I see an HST I remember him. Also miss the Valenta scream
Most certainly a privilege William and ive had the pleasure of driving them for the last 18 years mate! Boy do i miss the sound of that Valenta engine!
To me its a toss up as to which is the most exciting loco sound between the Valenta and a deltic. Same basic action causes this sound coming from impellers whizzing around in turbo chargers, your domestic vacuum cleaner or a Boeing 747 jumbo jet! Eenteresting!
I needed to know why don’t dig a tunnel and do an extension for the main line Train so that they can extend the unused abandoned underground train stations. Why couldn’t they use the part D78 Stock train doors on the sides and also restructure the front face of the A60 and A62 stock and that includes the class 313, class 314 and class 315 remix and make them all together and also redesign them an overhead line and also make them into Five cars per units and also having three Disabled Toilets on that Five cars per units A60 and A62 stock trains and also convert the A60 and A62 stock trains into a Scania N112, Volvo B10M, Gardner 6LXB, Gardner 6LXC and Gardner 8LXB Diesel Engines and also put the Loud 7-Speed Voith Gearboxes even Loud 8-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Gearboxes in the A60 and A62 stock, class 313, class 314, and class 315 and also modernise the A60 and A62 stock and make it into an 11 car per unit so it could have fewer doors, more tables, computers and mobile phone chargers. A Stock Trains and also having 8 Disabled Toilets on those A stock trains. Why couldn’t we refurbish and modernise the Waterloo and city line Triple-Track train tunnel and make it more Larger and extend it to the bank station, making it into a Triple-Track Railway Line so those Five countries such as Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden to convert the waterloo and city line Triple-Track Railway tunnel into a High-Speed Railway lines? The Third Euro tunnel Triple-Track Railway line to make it 11 times better for passengers so they could go from A to B. Then put the modernised 11 car per unit A Stock and put them on a bigger modernised Waterloo and city line Triple-Track train tunnel so it could go to bank station to those Five countries such as Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden. The modernised refurbished 11 cars per unit A stock could be a High Speed The Third Triple-Track Euro Tunnel Train So it is promising and 47 times a lot more possible to do this kind of project if that will be OK for London Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden. oh by the way, could they also tunnel the Triple-Track Railway Line so it will stop from Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Essex so that the Passengers will go to Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland and Sweden and also extend the Triple-Track Railway Line from the Bank to Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Essex Stations so that more people from there could go to Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden more Easily. Why couldn't they extend the Piccadilly Line and also build brand-new underground train stations so it could go even further right up to Clapton, Wood Street can they also make another brand new underground train station in Chingford and could they extend the Piccadilly Line and the DLR right up to Chingford? All of the classes 150, 155, 154, 117, 114, 105, and 106, will be replaced by all of the Scania N112, Volvo B10M, Gardner 6LXB, Gardner 6LXC and Gardner 8LXB Diesel Five carriages three disabled toilets are air conditioning trains including Highams Park for extended roots which is the Piccadilly line and the DLR trains. Could you also convert all of the 1973 stock trains into an air-conditioned maximum speed 78 km/hours (48 MPH) re-refurbished and make it into a 8 cars per unit if that will be alright, and also extend all of the Piccadilly train stations to make more space for all of the extended 8 car per unit 1973 stock air condition trains and can you also build another Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive Companies and can they order Every 37 Octagon and Every 17 Hexagon shape LNER diagram unique small no.13 and unique small no.11 Boilers from those Countries such as Greece, Italy, Poland, and Sweden, can they make Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive speeds by up to 142MPH so you can try and test it on the Original Mainline so it will be much more safer for the Passengers to enjoy the 142MPH speed Limit only for HS2 and Channel Tunnel mainline services, if they needed 16 Carriages Per units, can they use those class 55’s, class 44’s, class 40’s and class 43HST Diesel Locomotive’s right at the Back of those 18 Carriages Per Units so they can take over at the Back to let those Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive’s have a rest for those interesting Journeys Please!!!!!!!, oh can you make all of those Coal Boxes’s 17 Tonnes for all of those 142MPH Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive’s so the Companies will Understand us PASSENGER’S!! so please make sure that the Builders can do as they are told!!!!!

Wish I was more grown up back in the earlier years when Valenta's were still around; would've made for better conditions since sadly for me my younger self hated the ear-piercing screams of those engines. That being said I am loving the MTU engines currently on them, so all is good. Though, long will we remember those screams I'm sure :)
@@littleratbag1111 More modern turbo technology - sound = lost energy = less efficient. Modern turbos do a better job, hencewhy even small car engines have them now. But they don't sound as good!
Paul Knightley thanks for reply, I guess it’s all about emissions and fuel saving 🙁 I remember as a child these things would scare the hell out of me leaving Manchester Piccadilly station! British engineering!
What a symphony of sound those fantastic Paxman Valenta engines made, to be heard no more sadly!
Soon though maybe
That "Valenta Scream!" Mmmph!
Boy, GNER knew how to drive those beasts...
My OH was one of the Driver's.

1:10 Taunton. I used to work in one of those buildings opposite the stations. Loved hearing the Class 43s when they were Valenta-powered. :)
Pretty cool when you think about it that we've got the fastest diesel train in the world!
I'm a choo choo train and I approve this video!!!
Awesome video, just listen to the engines spin up wicked
Great vid dude!
1:10 These my Ultimate Fan 💪👍🏻
Great sounds
04: 20 is Darlington.
The 125's just aren't the same with these newer Maybach Engines in them.
Like the video very much.Take care
The Yanks don’t know what they’re missing or have missed

GNER sweet memery's from childhood going on family holidays they had a good old howl

Great video. ☺️ I just subscribed to your RUclips channel. ☺️
As St Jeremy of Clarkson might have put it-SPEED AND POWER......
i bet the clag smelt nice at 03:39
1:10 that HST was a FGW 9-car set!
2 carriages of TGS
good old val
NNG is a good place to watch HSTs as is Grantham
I do wonder what they did with the valenta engines,once the trains were scrapped....
I've always been curious, what actually creates that whistle as the engine accelerates it's engine speed?
It's the turbocharger.
It's a very distinctive sound called the 'Paxman scream'.
Why are mtu so quiet? Bloody boring compared to the good old Napier turbo on a Valenta!!
@@littleratbag1111 More modern turbo technology - sound = lost energy = less efficient. Modern turbos do a better job, hencewhy even small car engines have them now. But they don't sound as good!
Paul Knightley thanks for reply, I guess it’s all about emissions and fuel saving 🙁 I remember as a child these things would scare the hell out of me leaving Manchester Piccadilly station! British engineering!
its the turbo charger. its about the size of a small jet engine
They had the tracks to do it right
Is 0:45 at Bristol TM?
Yeah
