I’ve found a class 40 wired for sound, thrash DVD to watch where there is proper EE piston clatter in Scotland. I can see why you like class 56s now because they have the same engine type being a V16. It might be what I heard at midnight from Colas, 56090 at Clifton Road bridge, Rugby on loaded autoballasters on Saturday night, of 9th November 2024.

When I went down the station everyday a person saw me & I got beaten up in Rugby, when trains were good years ago, because some people don’t’ want to understand what real trains are about.

@arthurgrowler5749 hopefully, Freightliner are waiting for DB to reduce their value to potential buyers. There is no reason why Freightliner don't have them already, lined up at Basford Hall, other than price. Clearly, the paths they operate could be more regularly electric. Ie 4M87/4M88/4M63/4S88 etc are currently regularly electric but not exclusively so .. the workings for Malcolm in the future could potentially be so as well
