Great to see the engines so clean

[@poodumrover1]

Oh yeah this brings me back to the days when all I really wanted was to live beside a railway. Amazing filming and the pair look great in the shiny Black and Tan livery awesome sounds headphones highly recommended !!

@@poodumrover1 Yes headphones are a must.

A rare peek into the holy sanctuary of a 071's driver.

Great vid of a superbly turned out engines and coaches. Well done to all

[@andyvdb6]

Absolutely love the sound of 071 and 073, I used to love watching the 171 class unit passing the level crossing in sandymount as school kid, sadly don't see them anymore, With the cost of fuel now, I wonder how much longer they will be around

[@Cheezwizzz]

That sound!!!! 😘

Fantastic Shots Tom!😃.Well Filmed!.

Hi Tom, You say 2 x 071 = 4,500hp. Have they been downgraded ? They were originally rated at 2,450hp each i.e. 4,900hp for the pair. Great video. They are my all time favourite Irish locos, and I have had all 18 for haulage including the 3 NIR 111s. Sadly, I never had the nerve to ask for a cabride, despite being a former National Operations Standards Manager for the railways in Britain. Had cabrides across Canada, Portugal, Spain, France, Italy and Austria, and even drove a loco on the mainline in Hungary. The job came with a national cabpass, so I have done hundreds in Blighty.

[@RYNT1157]

2,450 gross HP , 2,250 traction HP.

[@vicsams4431]

@@RYNT1157 Thanks tom. I did wonder whether 2,250hp was the power at rail rating. Cheers for the clarification. Visited Ireland and Northern Ireland @ 19 times. Always had a great time. Lovely country. Lovely people. Wife's family come from Co. Limerick. I am a life member of the Irish Traction Group too.

[@rickbarrie294]

Ahaha. Mallow my home town. When I lived there they never "lashed up" those EMDs as they had lots of power for purpose. I used to get up w Andy Duane & Bertie Welsh back then. Also Brown Jack from Tralee !!! Before the days of footpath passes.

Great perspective!

[@cg9876]

It must be an absolute privilege to drive these. Can any driver opt to drive these or is a whole different category/license for these? I’d pay to drive one haha So rare seeing both connected
