[@cowboyonrail]

Congratulations on the start up of another fine beast, and best of luck with the rest of the restoration

[@essexpikey7116]

Wonderful. Really made me smile. Great work :)

[@chpman2013]

Made me gag and cough...all that diesel exhaust.

[@37175]

Fantastic filming of a momentous occasion, great stuff Davie!

[@ericwhyte5584]

Now we need an excellent painting team to make her shine in the Oban and west highland summer sun. loving the glimse's of that other loco soon to be revealed

Another one lives .welcome back 403.

[@trainsmad3307]

that looks like another good job. :)

[@stevenrfg0456]

Nice to see how far 403 has come over the years

[@BONESS27001]

Thanks for your comment Steven. We are very proud of this loco. Getting it onto the mainline was quite a task.

[@stevenrfg0456]

@@BONESS27001 it’s a gorgeous loco I’ve seen her a couple times at ur galas nd on tours nd that

[@jammiebeasts]

Superb! Fantastic. Well done lads:)

[@FinnMikazukiVT-kl5lp]

Hello Bonsse27001 did they startup class 37403 from the cab?

[@gavin37688]

Mega my lords wat a beast! Great work guys lovin it:)

[@christopherhood9241]

looks and sounds like you’ve converted it to a steam engine !!

[@alecjefferson5068]

In them days a power station somewhere was puffing out 🤗

[@jaggass]

Stars In Their Eyes should have used a Class 37 as a smoke machine.

[@nigelterry9299]

Typical EE they HATE cold starting. It doesn't help the sound that some of the decompression valves are open to help the 1st start along. The smoke is unburnt fuel, that'll clear once she warms through.

[@justinobrien3593]

It looks like it's on fire as its kicking our that much clagg lol 🤣

[@SandfordValleyRailway]

nice vid of her starting up i thought BR said that Diesels were cleaner that Steam?? lol

[@g8ymw]

They are when they get warmed up. Most of that smoke is unburned diesel

[@genericclass4058]

Yea well at least that wont start fires in Forests

[@railfreightdrivergallagherGBRf]

Could Do With Some Ventilation.

[@mikeking2539]

Just wondering if the person who made this video was still alive after breathing in all them diesel fumes?

[@BONESS27001]

Im still alive, it was my video camera that got most of the fumes as I was mainly outside.

[@mikeking2539]

@@BONESS27001 Oh that's good. I know that I would not want to have been near it. But they are top of the list of fave BR Diesels.
