I could tell what steem heat bolier was fitted to them ny the grills on the side long long short was the Clayton boiler long short long was the stone boiler
Great video, thanks! My question : These 40's seem not have the same 'tractor' -sound as 37's , different engine perhaps or am i just wrong? Greets from Finland!
They do a bit under heavy load, the engine design is similar but the 37’s V12 is inter-cooled which seems to muffle the whistling sound make by EE’s non inter cooled engines like that in the class 40. The class 37 has about 14 more horsepower per cylinder and it revs 100 rpm higher than the engine in the class 40, also by virtue of being a V12 instead of a V16 the exhaust profile is different. I think it’s a combination of less whistle, higher rpm, more power per cylinder and different exhaust shape that leads to the different sound.
BR: we need a 2000hp diesel to pull express trains and goods P1: Use the 1750 engine with Co-Co bogies P2: put 2 wheels in front of it P3: slap 2 turbos
what a sound!
Fab vid, i always loved the split headcode look myself.
Fabulous loco. Used to love that whistle on my regular journeys on the trans Pennines back in the early 80's.
I really wish that more of these classes were preserved.
Saw / cabbed many 40's in the mid-70's when I worked as a shunter at Blackburn goods yard. Wonderfully powerful and impressive machines...
Class 40s my fav as a kid. Great action.
many thanks.
Excellent - I miss that sound - And the bonus Deltic - Thanks for posting. Regards.
Great shots and my compliments for the excellent audio ! Thank you !
Glad you enjoyed it!
beautifully filmed lovely work
Thank you Ken, glad you liked it.
@@Banjostrings07Productions that diesel sure is a powerful one. Good at going backwards and forwards
A nicely filmed video of some nice locos
Thanks John
I did not know this was even on!! Great video mate
Many thanks pal.
The power in these is incredible, it accelerated to about 45mph in a few seconds
After that speed they accelerate slowly
Really enjoyed that, thanks!
Glad you liked it!
One beauty of a loco
What a lovely landscape and railway... would like to go there in person once.
Love it, it was a great weekend, one of the very best at The ELR 😎
I love the class 40 but I never went on it but it is my favourite diesel train
Great vid. Thank you!
Thanks :)

D200 was at bury.Not able to turn and is being restored.went to this event
37's big brother.
Class 40. A snobbish diesel that once ran over a bowler hat
Everywhere you look it’s 40
Great video, thanks! My question : These 40's seem not have the same 'tractor' -sound as 37's , different engine perhaps or am i just wrong? Greets from Finland!
The Class 37s have an EE V12 where as the Class 40s have a EE V16.
They do a bit under heavy load, the engine design is similar but the 37’s V12 is inter-cooled which seems to muffle the whistling sound make by EE’s non inter cooled engines like that in the class 40. The class 37 has about 14 more horsepower per cylinder and it revs 100 rpm higher than the engine in the class 40, also by virtue of being a V12 instead of a V16 the exhaust profile is different. I think it’s a combination of less whistle, higher rpm, more power per cylinder and different exhaust shape that leads to the different sound.
I think the 40s sound more like a pair of 20s than a 37...
If only Class 20 still survives until today....
James Davidson Are there none restored/under restoration?
they don t make em like that anymore x
What is wrong with that guy in the first (green) railcar?
Gökçer'in Sesi he’s just giving the loco a flail
The white thing shake it look like it has eyes
*The engines were jealous*

Actually the D200s came first (1958); the D6700s (Class 37) entered service from 1960.
Not bad, I’ve seen worse. At least they’re all clean.
It’s a protojey of the class 37s a class 40 is 💯👌
