37688 "Great Rocks" Blasts Through Newton Abbot with ex EMR Mk3s- 10/5/2021

That is one meaty sounding engine!

[@StaxRail]

Twin turbo V12, nearly 16L displacement per cylinder! 1750bhp at the crankshaft too, proper unit

@@StaxRail my car has one of those ;) XD

Great Catch!

[@AdamsRailClips]

Superb catch and thrash from 37688 :D I believe another possibility is that one of the night Riviera Sleeper class 57s may end up hauling these coaches during the day as an additional service but as you say, they could instead be use with two class 43 power cars to form a 2+5 short HST set.

[@StaxRail]

The only way GWR could use these is with a HST, these haven't got any buffers and if I remember correctly are wired differrntly to the Sleeper coaches the 57s are designed to run with. Will be interesting to see what happens!

[@AdamsRailClips]

@@StaxRail Ah yeah that makes sense, forgot about the fact that they would most likely be wired differently but it will be interesting to see what route it covers when it is used, possibly Bristol to Penzance I am thinking...
