Large logo livery was that rare livery that stilled looked as good weathered as it did clean. Same with Red Stripe Railfreight too.

I loved the 47s but this sound I will always remember as my house overlooked the railway embankment between Southall and the Iron bridge Uxbridge Road. Tbh honest I like all the Diesels that were around then.

Wonderful, Wonderful memories. Beats the plastic junk there is now on the railway.

Good to see these old girls doing their bit for the environment! And who said steam was filthy and dirty! Even now, the rail industry need to address why there are so many diesels running under or over the wires. For all that, the sound of these beasts is just fantastic.

I take it this vid was shot just before they were withdrawn yes? Cos i think they were withdrawn about a year after this year so it would of been 92 i think the 50s were gone from service

Such great memories of this wonderful locomotive. Had over 70k miles behind it. Worked at Laira T&RSMD during my apprenticeship also. Wanted to preserve this loco, however my Depot manager Geoff Hudson said,"Brian,its yours for 20,000 pounds.(1991) myself and friends could not raise the Capitol, and so I saw her off to MC Metals in Glasgow around the early part of 1992 So sad, but so good Memories. X How do we feel so attached to these locos.? I guess like our cars. The 2nd year apprentices at that time including myself spent a whole day cutting coms and removed 50046's engine and fitting into 50007 so the green godess could be preserved. Good times. Long live the hoovers and the 16CVST engines.

Ugly locomotives at best, but sporting the awful NSE livery, they look seriously ridiculous. Sorry but it’s true.

NSE livery was good. It certainly brightened up stock and stations at the time. At least everyone knew what it stood for unlike, current liveries.
