- We were invited by the 125 Heritage group to head back down to the Colne Valley Railway to observe the first cold start of 43082 since it was shut down in December 2020 and stored in Long Marston. We filmed a variety of shots including the cold start, some shots of the power cars in motion and a cab ride.
Unfortunately 43073 could not be started due to some minor problems but was hooked up in multi and acted as a dummy car. After the Power Car was successfully started with the, assistance of some EMR Fitters and some Mainline drivers, the group decided to take 43082 and 43073 out for some running tests.
We were fortunate enough to be allowed on board and filmed some footage inside the cab while the power cars were In motion. 43082 ran successfully under its own power for the whole day which allowed us to get many pictures and videos. Both power cars are fitted with Paxman VP185 engines, and as a result made an amazing sight during the start up!
We hope you enjoy this video, please check out the Colne Valley Railway’s website.
Furthermore church out the 125 Heritage Group page which include all their current updates and plans for the future.

Great to see them moving under their own power again. Would love to see more preserved on heritage lines with a small rake of coaches so they be enjoyed for years yet
Thank you for watching! It’s great to have some working examples in preservation with a future ahead of them!
Defo Sir. I feel the same. I watched a video of said scenario. The video was ace but the way the train was ran, on a constant coast - it was frustrating. My suggestion was to have the two power cars with an old school livery rake, stopping at good spots on a line, to then see the train pull off with turbo whistle - a bit of thrash and the twin diagonal clag clouds !
Being expressive can sometimes be a crime - if so, ignore the above and settle your brain with; Excellent, cheers 👍👍
Happy days just like the XPT in Australia!
Indeed! Exact same power unit too!
Great to see, particularly with the Paxman VP185 engine. It's also strange to think of them as heritage as they are still working with Scot Rail!
They are very capable engines indeed! Very strange not too many left in service now though sadly :(
you forgot xc and gwr
Aww that beautiful sound as a Class 43 HST never get tired of hearing it
Great sound isn’t it!
@@BOBPTransportVideos Definitely 100%
Valenta engines were even better
Nice to see them alive and breathing, just a shame they'll be tamed at 25mph, and not galloping along
Excellent video. Glad they managed to get one of the power cars started up and running along the line. :)
Cheers mate, I agree it’s looking good for them!
@@BOBPTransportVideos you're welcome. It does indeed. :)
Awesome stuff! Will defo have to pay a visit next year
Cheers, when both are running with coaches it will be a sight to see!
Great video and great to see a HST under power at the CVR. Now all they need to do is clear the running line for 125mph LOL! One end of the line to the other in 30 seconds!
Hope the 125 Heritage group might plan on doing driver experience sessions on their HST, I'd definitely put my name on the list.
Haha would be nice lol We do plan to do some driver experiences once we are all good to go 👍👍
Music to my ears
Gotta love a good VP185 Cold start!
What a great video, really enjoyed the insight and explanations, thanks 👍👍👍
Thank you very much glad you enjoyed it! 👍
Literally a train version of a Slave Lake old start cold start
I haven’t been to the CVR in years. Went there when I lived in Halstead years back. A great place.
Superb
Me waking in the morning:
Looking good
It sure is! 082 was running very well
Good job getting her running, just not so convinced on the idle.
I'd like to have that Sound in my bedroom, lol ❤ Vivian Hyde
Great sounding engines, but I miss that distinct turbo scream from the old Valentas, but probably the engines were not worked hard enough to get the turbos going.
Was such a great sound! Yeah the VP185s do start to scream as the engine increases speed!
43082 sounds to be in good condition. shame about 43073. Did you film them attempt to start her ?
Have a happy Christmas from andrew
Thank you, we hope you had a great Christmas as well!
Will they be re fitting the old velantena engine back into these units?
These ones will stay as the VP185, however the 125 Group ar Ruddington have plans to re engine 43044 with a Valenta
@@BOBPTransportVideos will be fantastic to hear it screaming away
Wonder how guys in Nigeria are getting on with their units?
Probably quite well, as two were already reliveried (43008 and 184)
How dare you , cough cough
Greta thunberg probably
Great video hopefully they’ll have the other power car running soon
Haha Hope they will too thanks for commenting 👍
