[@paulknightley]

Great to see! Thanks for saving it!

[@ashthemainman]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@charliethetrainspotter4963]

That is so good to see another HST to be saved, FGW Hst are rare to be saved great video

[@richardmarshall4322]

Nice to see them saved. Needs a nice Valenta refitting

[@trainman86trainstramsandmore]

125group's 43044 will have a valenta in it eventually

[@ashthemainman]

@@richardmarshall4322 I wonder how many are floating about?

[@brianwillson9567]

No valenta, not a proper hst.

[@trainman86trainstramsandmore]

@brianwillson9567 give it a rest, at least it is better than not having a power car in the first place

[@brianwillson9567]

@trainman86trainstramsandmore I totally agree that a class 43 with whatever engine is better than no class 43. But I do have doubts that all those preserved , even now, have a long term working future.

[@williamchivers380]

I just hope the plym valley railway (in devon, out there) of whom also on my bucket list.... will hopefully make the input-of-an-effort into restoring those two ex-HST power cars, as well as put them to good use one day eventually. Always great to see more InterCity 125 power cars making it well into preservation.

[@Ti_Daley]

Only 1 power car will be saved, the other is spares/scrap. The car they're saving has no engine and will be a dummy unit. I've suggested that it has a model railway built inside of it.

[@Dmooreslotreviews]

Oh wow this is down the road from me, I will have to have a look.

[@ashthemainman]

head down on the Christmas weekends!

[@ryanohara476]

Very nice what livery will this BR Class 43 HST power car eventually have?

[@iancook2036]

This one's being sourced for spares as I have read.

[@wurlycorner]

There's a tremendous amount missing from that one already and a lot of body deteriorationg, so it would be a big task to reassemble it, for sure - and I would have thought that would be a fairly needless effort, considering there are more complete examples available that are surely a better option?

[@charlie8562]

Fgw hst is my favourite

[@paultaylor9652]

It definitely looks a tired old loco, i hope its just for spares then.

[@Moe_A_silly_yeep]

The destroyed 43 :(

[@timwattison4419]

Ex Cross Country power car don't you mean ??? 🤔

[@Trainguy_spotter]

If it's in fgwr livery now and it's that weathered it's been in fgwr livery for a while

[@johnUB4478]

Is it being used for spares?

[@ashthemainman]

See description

[@garymcgregor7048]

Amazing , but where do you start 🤔🤔

[@ashthemainman]

Seek the engine imo

[@Mako-x4y]

At the beginning 😂

[@stevede1766]

How much does one pay for a unit or are they gifted

[@paulsheward3325]

Whats the point taking money from other projects

[@DonaldTrumpIsGreat]

Good 👍
