I don't know what it is about the Western that makes it stand out above the rest. As a kid I remember being thrilled as Deltics roared through Grantham station shaking the platform as they passed. Class 47s going full bore through Eastleigh on container trains. 50s tearing through Newbury on their way to London. But the Western just tops them all, the noise, the power and the atmosphere is unique.
Im a deltic man but i do admit the westerns are classic locos, and like deltics they sound awsome, and they do look good and modern as dare i say it the deltics look a bit dated.
Clearly in the days when possible decapitation was the train enthusiast equivalent of the chicken run across a busy road? Stupidity. Loved the Western and it’s livery. Perfect Match with the carriage
Hallo, very nice And originally! Hymek Is originál Germany construction school with the two diesel high roráty engines And two hydrodynamic gear boxes. They have with the 4 axles more power thank classic diesel-electric locomotives. And this british Hymek had a originally design!

This is a thing of beauty
Nice footage of a fantastic loco, thanks for sharing, Paul

Are you saying this is a Hymek? Because it is not.
Heads on them like mice!
Guy doing a nazi salute in the last few carriages. Needs editing out.
He’s not- it’s something enthusiasts do, as well as winding motions- flailing I think they call it! does look a bit like it though!
It is flailing as you say, I've got one word for those that used to flail: wankers.
