The Legendary Class 91s: Britain’s Last Great Locomotive?

[@benkay8295]

One of the last comfortable trains made

[@trainspotter66]

You got that right 😎

[@johnUB4478]

I have to disagree. I prefer the GWR Class 800 and 802s.

Another British design classic.

Did my guards training on these and still work them today.

[@fuzzynutter8344]

Agree that the Class 91 is a great loco and I believe some of its engineering and design was derived from the APT.

Wonderful trains !

[@thomastoseland7113]

Aye, I've always liked them since I first saw one as a kid, and I'm older than they are.

[@darrenfitch]

a legacy that won't be forgotten or beaten..... Modern day 800's are inferior in every single way

2:05 the Class 91s don’t have engines. Each locomotive has four traction motors, the sum total of their power output peaking at 6,300bhp. You mention these traction motors at 2:16.

In few years the LNER Class 91 Mk4s are to be replaced by the Class 897 Civity Tri-mode.

[@thomastoseland7113]

My problem is that I like them. I've liked them since the first time I saw one. I would have liked them better if I could have used them more, as where I grew up there were no pantographs, unfortunately.

Really bad in the snow 125s were much better at least if on engine stop working it can still move
