Have a look at the link in the description they seem to be really good all round exhaust and its a standard 125 (at the moment)

Thank you, really enjoying doing all the jobs on it.

Thank you.

I've gone for a SIP Road XL looks more like the standard box exhaust but they seem to get some of the better dyno results.

@SAM-zt2uy be alot lower then what you have tho, but you don't buy a classic scooter to make it quiet

Still not sure if its coughing and spluttering or whether that is the rev limit, not managed a ride since swapping the gearbox oil but the clutch still feels very snappy so I think renewing that will be happening soon.

@@SAM-zt2uy the clutch cable could be adjusted it seems that the lever is nearly fully released before biting.

@@rucksack1956 yes I worked my way down the inclines from the top they pretty steep so I wouldn’t risk it in the wet. Once you get down a few levels you should be able to spot the loco.

Many thanks for the information my friend at 68 I won't be taking any risks. I have been there before quite a few years back and I will most certainly return before I'm too old and beyond. Many thanks again 🙏 👌

@@jamieharmer5654 with both engines running 3300bhp

I leap forward from steam in both respects though

View out front is much better than modern multiple units with corridor connections like the Disastros. I couldn't wait to get off them and back to the 159s at Salisbury. Rather drive an old slammer than a Disastro.

I drove these in br service, they were noisy uncomfortable and draughty, but boy could they perform , I loved them, something special.

​@kristinajendesen7111 Those fairly new Scotrail EMUs look horrendous. I've driven 80s gangwayed EMUs and they were so drafty as well as cramped cabs.

My guess would be the Deltic engine itself, being a fairly unusual design, combined with being a very recognisable locomotive from the era of full dieselisation on non-electrified routes that stayed on for a long time.

Yes, they had a toilet.

это так кажется. кабина не очень высокая (по моему менее 1.80м) а кресла, на которых сидят машинист и помощник, похожи на стулья в баре. так что какая-то видимость более менее есть.

@@LosAngelesUSA1 зачем вообще такой узкий обзор делать, почему нельзя сделать нормальные окна как у автобуса.

@@mrbrain3339🤷🏻‍♂️ им видимо виднее 🤦🏻‍♂️

@@mrbrain3339 А на паровозах у машиниста вообще никакого обзора не было. В окно приходилось вылазить до половины. Как то ездили.

@@LosAngelesUSA1 потому что техника тех лет не позволяла разместить две кабины с разных сторон парового котла.

The seats are basically bar stools, they’re also super high too 😂

Интересный аппарат. Какая мощность дизеля?

@@Reimican Search for "Napier Deltic" - there are some good descriptions online, but briefly it is an opposed piston, two-stroke diesel with the cylinders arranged in triangular banks, sharing a crankshaft at each corner. It revs a lot faster than most traction diesels. The locomotive has two of these engines, each with its own generator, for a total of 3,300hp, which was very high for a 100 ton locomotive when the concept was first developed in the mid 1950s

I was at Leeds Holbeck in the seventies.I always thought the cabs were very basic compared to the class 47 (Hawkers) which had better seats and far greater vision.Even with the sound deadening the Deltics were still very noisy.

A lot of our old slam doors were painted in a light green colour inside the cab. It looked very similar to the cockpit colour of the Spitfires & Hurricanes etc. It makes me wonder if BR got a job lot of old paint cheap from the MOD when the prop jobbies were phased out.
