Thanks for the comment. They will sound simular, HST power cars were built with Paxman Valenta 12RP200L or VP185, and the Class 56s have a Paxman 16RK3CT.

@@37427 you can't beat a screaming grid or original HST valenta powered class 43 power car 🥰

37 fan here too, hence the channel name. The Class 25s are my second favourite traction though. It is possible to get some considerable thrash behind these Type 2s at other railways since doing headsout is banned on mainline these days - ELR is uphill 1 in 85 to Heywood is approx 7 mins of solid thrash (see my video behind 25035), and the NYMR Grosmont to Goathland is 1 in 49, around 9 mins (25278). Agree with you about the ying ying sound, cant stand 66s, and have no interest in them. Thanks for the comment.

@@37427 It's funny how sometimes the smaller engines are more fun, 25 better than 33, 37 better than 40, hymek better than western. That said, any heritage over the US imports !

Ah! Well that would explain everything. It's always a 10 when you're in the seat Chris.

@@37427 can’t take all the credit for that Down run but I appreciate it. Very fond of 425!

Ah but which one? There were 2 shotgun mics

It's overlaid with the original audio to get the timing right, and then I disable the original audio. You are only hearing Mark's audio until the Microphone comparison at the end in which I switch between the audio tracks

I liked the clag smoking the kippers on the bridge at 08:32 hehe

Definitely agree!

Yes I remember well, its why I had to stop recording before the power was shut off, hands were getting close to frostbite!

lol

Didn't feel like the brakes were on, but it was a peculiarity they were able to get much more thrash out of 021 compared to 026 the other end. The gradients on this section arent that steep.
