Thanks Michael! :) Cameron

Just fantastic seeing a peak out on the mainline great sounds from a nice loco

[@brianwillson9567]

For those of us, for whom a 'railway journey' meant a 45/1 to St Pancras this is FANTASTIC news.

Great vlog watching a Peak back on mainline...takes me back to the days catching a train to the North from Bristol Temple Meads with Class 45 or 46 on the front 😊.

[@RailView_YT]

Thank you very much Gary! :) Cameron

Great also to see D213 Andiania in the middle, she was the loco that my Grandfather drove on his last day before retirement from LMS in the late 60's. We recently found a photo of him leaning out of the cab on his last day, Locomotive Services Ltd were kind enough to allow my son and I to visit Andania in Crewe to recreate the photo for our next generation of the family.

[@dilltdog1158]

Aww, I loved the old peaks, the 1-10 ers were my favourites and D163 the first Peak I ever saw.

[@kipsome45]

Fantastic news!

[@WheelsonRails728]

A lovely shot @ Chesterfield!

[@RailView_YT]

Thanks very much :) Cameron

[@JJthrashing]

45 was doing all the work even when it was on the rear in multiple mode 40, 37 just left idling great video 👍

[@PoxyMoxon97]

It can't be in multiple, there's no blue star equipment on it? Only the ETH jumper?

[@RailView_YT]

Thank you very much! :) Cameron

[@JJthrashing]

@@PoxyMoxon97yes there where fitted with ETH a later date had steam boilers when first manufactured and MU blue star.

[@PoxyMoxon97]

@@JJthrashing And the Blue Star equipment was removed later on I can't see any Blue Star jumpers at all on the 45 or interconnected with the 40 / the 40 with the 37 in any other videos too

[@JJthrashing]

In the video clip passing under the bridge 45 on the rear was only engine powered up you can clearly hearing working hard must of been in multiple mode.. 40 & 37 didn’t sound to be switched on couldn’t even hear it idling..

[@stephenchecksfield632]

Brilliant video 👏

[@RailView_YT]

Thank you very much, Stephen! Cameron

[@stephenchecksfield632]

[@andybyrne50]

Hopefully see it pass through Dawlish in the near future.

[@chrisst8922]

It's like classic cars: 45's, 40's, 37's, Capri, XJS, MGB....

[@PhilPage227]

Great video.

[@RailView_YT]

Thanks Phil :) Cameron

[@michaelfeeney8437]

Would they be the original Nameplates ?

[@dieseldave3879]

2:10 Now there's something you don't see too often: a Peak on a propelling move, driven from the rear I assume! 🚂👍

[@Shark30006]

The Class 45 Peaks are based on D199 from Enterprising Engines and Super Rescue

[@tomoflaherty3638]

Did this go to Crewe today? I was walking over London Road bridge Derby and barely saw them thundering through.

[@paulwhite8545]

Yes, she did a return run to Worksop and back to Barrow Hill, then Barrow Hill to Crewe via Sheffield..👍

[@Greenbillywithbritishtophat]

man i wanted 45106 back;-;

[@martinarrand4336]

Nice bit of sulzer thrash 😂

[@class50thrasher]

Not personally a fan of peaks (they arent a fan of me either they always break after ive been on them) but that peak sounds like its got the 47s engine in it rather than what it was given from factory!

[@MrAuriga67]

The Engine fitted to the Class 45 is a Sulzer 12LDA28B, the engine fitted to a class 47 is a Sulzer 12LDA28C which is am uprated version of the class 45 engine, thats why they sound similar

[@EvEl31]

[@cjs083]

She look's and sound great but isn't that a class 47 engine she has

[@BritishTrainspotting]

See @MrAuriga67 's reply to @class50thrasher 's comment explaining why they sound similar!

[@fuzzynutter8344]

The Peaks and Class 47 have the same Sulzer 12LDA28 engine.
