Preston Class 47 Thrash 90-02 Part 1

A look at a selection of Preston Class 47 Sulzer departures sampled between 1990 and 2002.
Headphones recommended to sample the "handle back " thrash from back in the day. A great selection of liveries and long lost locos.
Locos featured in order.

Awesome awesome awesome. I love 47s, especially when they thrash n clag their guts out. Thank You so much for sharing this. Pure joy and it brought back some old memories of Preston, a place I visited a lot, when on bashing trips with friends in my early teens.

Cheers! Yes the days when the drivers just threw the handle back!

Excellent footage there. I was quite likely on some of those trains.

I will stick some dates on the workings when I've got time mate. Thanks for watching. Certainly miss all the thrash.
