Makes a lovely noise..

Certainly does

[@martinsims1273]

It sounds a bit like the class 37's.

We need these old diesels back, i cannot stand the modern ones, the old ones were so comfortable with bouncy seats

[@thetrainspott3r]

There is definitely a certain elegance to these machines. At least we’ve still got some in preservation to enjoy.

You can’t have them back. All the others were turned into bean tins and razor blades.
