Thinking back, why were Cl50s deployed on this route ?
@paulbarnett2234Ай бұрын
They replaced the less powerful Class 33 so to speed up timings between Waterloo/Salisbury and Exeter. Once enough 50s had been cascaded off the Western Region workings the timetable was then changed to better suit the faster running times. They were supposed to be replaced by 159s direct but they were delayed and the 50s reliability and decline meant they had to utilise 47s until the 159s were introduced.

Louis, you are in correct. 43074 was a VP185 when this video was recorded. You can tell that by listening to it. It is now an MTU renumbered as 43274. Please check your facts before dropping comments.

I used to drive the 43's out of Kings X up the ECML... With 4500 hp under the bonnet ( 2250 hp ) one up front and one up the botty there was plenty of power on tap... Pulling out of the station on notch five with the Paxman Valenta turbo's screaming their little heads off and clouds of exhaust smoke ( sorry Greta Thunberg ) was something to behold with more excitement to enjoy... 125 mph here we come although they would top 148 mph... Now there is food for thought but as I did not fancy tea and biscuits with the Boss well need I say more..

You shouldn't leave the train in gear for more than a couple of seconds while stationery : standing with the train in gear for any more than a few seconds will RAPIDLY overheat the fluid coupling, the fusible plug will melt and spray highly flammable, highly toxic Shell SFR oil over the hot engine and exhaustpipes. Also -- NEVER EVER EVER leave the brake in lap while running unless you are actually braking. If you run with the brake in lap you are not exhausting the brake pipe and after sometime it is entirely possible for the vacuum to drop slowly and if the connection to the topside of the vacuum cylinder is leaking you can loose topside vacuum and then you would have NO BRAKES at all. Gear change: 1st : 0 - 15 2nd : 15 - 27 3rd : 27 - 41 4th : 41 - 70
