Wish I had covered this train more back in the day . Check out my Class 56 series of vids on my channel . Lots of similar sights and sounds . Thanks for commenting

People go on about 37’s but, my goodness, there is no better loco sound than a grid at full whack

[@hughesy45108]

So true ! Glad you enjoyed . I certainly miss the 90s when grids where ten a penny on freight.

Looks and sounds heavy

Sulzer 12's doing what they do best, shifting lumps..

[@hughesy45108]

And still occasionally doing now thankfully, but not this kind of tonnage.

And Ruston-Paxman 16’s!
