Being an American railfan, it’s always nice to see our diesel engines being used in locomotives that are built for the foreign market, especially if they’re built outside of the USA. Reminds me a lot of the SD70 series in terms of sound as well!

Looking cool, Will miss the OG 56 engine sound, sounds like a metal band playing inside the locomotive on full power \m/ Hopefully see some metalheads driving those beasts soon!!

Thanks for posting this, great to hear the 69

Good to see a diesel that won't fill your lungs with clag! Loads of smoke might look impressive, but you wouldn't want to inhale it.

Used to love going here with my Dad and uncle god bless them both. My grandad was a engineer. He was involved with Leander in the 70s & 80s. Then sadly in the 90s his health got the better of him and he had to call it day. Good days will never forget them

Thanks for posting SVR. Hopefully we can get down to see you later this year.

I won't complain as im sure everyone is used to that sound now. Besides there is still 56's around so can still enjoy those while they are here

[@zoomer1979]

It's a sign of the times that most modern engines are heavily silenced and filtered for emissions. Great to hear it, but my washing machine on spin is more exciting to listen to 😂 Good luck with the rest of the testing. Neil.

[@squeaksvids5886]

Shame they couldn’t but a giant sound decoder and speaker in it so it still sounded like a 56! 😉🤣

[@ciaranburke3243]

Smooth and powerful 👌

[@peebee143]

Well, I much preferred the old Ruston V16 on full chat.

[@clivehudson4985]

What GBRF has done makes alot of sense finding a cost efffective solution to their motive power shortage and extending the life of these locomotives. They are certainly alot better looking than the sheds both inside and out.

[@jamieleestransporthub]

Awesome sounds. Thanks for posting 😁😁

[@dmdragonfly]

I would have gone for Class 65 for it. It's "nearly" a 66, and it's also a rearranged 56.

[@siddharthamondal8212]

Biggest fan of Severn valley railway 🚂 I'm from India 🇮🇳 👍🏻

[@85dstudios]

To be honest, I don’t know why I’d think it’d have different sounds to the 66!

[@garyt6747]

69.One

[@westmidlandsrailenthusiast]

Very nice, looking forward to seeing them on the mainline 👍🏻

[@AndreiTupolev]

I must say it actually sounds rather impressive at full power. It's difficult to tell from videos of course but it seems to have rather more bass to it than a 66, which does largely sound like a washing machine

[@themightyzanoss8409]

hopefully can see some of these on the mainline soon
