Kyle: I am an American and former railroader who stumbled on your videos on KZbin. They are superb! I never knew there was such a variety of locomotives and equipment in the UK. Great stuff!

[@KyleLaw19]

Thank you. Much appreciated.

[@geraldtomson8105]

Hi Kyle These old class 56's some are being rebuilt virtually as new loco's as they could not buy new class 66/67 from Canada owing to not being able to supply them, but they can get engines and other parts so they overall them and fit class 66/67 type engines in them and reclass them as class 69;s just like brand new and a lot cheaper to buy.

[@ianjones4116]

3yrs old,,, still a great video. Superb selection of Traction. Liked the 4 choppers at Derby 👍😎

[@francisjaniewski5990]

I am from the US and worked on Amtrak locomotives for 2 years. England has some neat shaped locomotives. Have a good day.

[@DarthVader-on4pe]

First train spotter video ever which keeps the camera still and doesn't use zoom: well done!

[@KyleLaw19]

Thank you.

[@pinza55007]

Even after 4 years people are still watching and leaving comments. Simply superb Kyle, Thankyou for posting. Happy New Year.

[@KyleLaw19]

Thank you. Happy new year!

[@stevenboyd6196]

Thanks Kyle what a rare sight of a Northern unit going through Nuneaton

[@KyleLaw19]

Thank you for watching.

[@davidmansell5986]

Great stuff. Good sound quality too.

[@iman2341]

Ayyy! Those are the 56s that are now becoming class 69s! (no joke)

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

Probably at Crewe works...

[@stephen6whitehead398]

I'm impressed with the length of the class 66 ballast train.

[@KyleLaw19]

Thanks for watching.

[@duggy788]

love the sound when there pulling away .

[@KyleLaw19]

Thanks for watching.

[@fuoco13]

Fantastic array of locomotives and liveries. Thank you.

[@KyleLaw19]

Thank you for watching.

[@rickybrett9100]

Funny how things turn out. 47s back in the day I never looked at twice but now...

[@Schony747]

Great compilation with so much variety over there. Crewe and Stafford are two of my favourite locations.

[@KyleLaw19]

Thank you for watching.

[@TrevorLedgeway]

Some great loco's on here Kyle....Brings back memories from the magical 70s & 80s.....Really Enjoyed.....Trevor.''

[@KyleLaw19]

Thank you, Trevor.

[@999skipper]

Another great video. Lovely rich sound. Thanks. Jimmie

[@KyleLaw19]

Many thanks, Jimmie.

[@lukewheeler6726]

Anyone happen to go through Doncaster last night? What was in the shed with the white covering over it? Shape looked like the prototype HST, couple of engineers wandering around it wish I could have seen what was going on

[@GWRailFan]

what a lucky pair to get together 66304 and 57304, fantastic

[@KyleLaw19]

Thank you.

[@eastcoastdcc]

Nice! Thanks for posting. Cheers, Ross.

[@tonyjones9442]

Very good video. I'm not a rail person but I find it relaxing watching trains at home. Can anybody explain, with electric powered freight trains, how do they remove/up lift/crane out the shipping containers if the cables and gantries are in the way?

[@ianjones4116]

The electric loco is swapped for a Diesel loco before it reaches its destination. 😀👍

[@bobnweaver]

Excellent video Kyle from all the locations with a superb variety of locos, rolling stock and liveries. Jeff.

[@KyleLaw19]

Thank you, Jeff. Much appreciated.

[@richardgregory8964]

This is a seriously good video! Well done mate 👍 excellent quality and great selection of locos!

[@KyleLaw19]

Thank you. Much appreciated.

[@capitallines]

Fantastic quality, thanks for sharing.

[@KyleLaw19]

Many thanks for watching.

[@samson374]

A double-headed container or any freight for that matter, Class 90's never in my whole life have I seen it. Containers pulled by a pair of 86's - common as apple pie but never two 90's. Great job

[@KyleLaw19]

Thanks for watching.

[@stev6free146]

Never seen a class 70 but they sound great

[@KenBrownekb71000duke]

Great footage and the variety of locos was great too Kyle. Nice to see so many 56s on the move, altho it's not quite clear how many will be fully restored. 70007 looked fresh and sounded good, and must be one of the few serviceable FLHH locos. Loved the classic EE thrash off the 50s, quickly followed by the 20s on the LOL drag move. Great sounds and very enjoyable, well done mate! Best wishes from Ken.

[@KyleLaw19]

Thank you, Ken. Greatly appreciated. It was third time lucky with the 56 move due to it being cancelled on the previous two occasions. The line of 70s at Leeds seems to lengthen every time I pass by. They do sound good, so it would be nice to see some reintroduced to traffic. I'm pleased you enjoyed. Regards, Kyle.

[@Philb68888]

Brilliant video

[@KyleLaw19]

Thank you, Phil.

[@ianhudson2223]

Superb camera work.

[@KyleLaw19]

Thank you.

[@johnhayes5357]

Up to your usual high standard. Great to see class 56s.

[@KyleLaw19]

Thank you. Greatly appreciated.

[@James47298]

Great variety and well captured

[@KyleLaw19]

Thank you.

[@stevenbiffoni783]

Great show!Two questions: how much freight is hauled by diesel electrics and how much is hauled by electric? Also, do the electric and diesels each used according to the freight being hauled? Once again, great video.

[@chrismarshall3972]

i dread to think what will be dragging 66769 to the breakers when its turn is here.

[@mrvontrips]

Probably a class 37 lol

[@stestepney]

Excellent vid Kyle good verity of loco's cheers Steve ..

[@KyleLaw19]

Thank you.

[@neilfoord9140]

What's the story with 56031,32 and 37? Hopefully reactivation and a good repaint.

[@KyleLaw19]

Thank you for watching. As stated above, GB Railfreight has purchased these Class 56s from UK Rail Leasing (UKRL). They're likely to be stored at various locations, re-engineered and returned to traffic when required.

[@ianjones4116]

56031 is now 69001,,, not sure about other 2

[@sam8alex12]

A Great video you made, Kyle Thank you

Thank you.

[@philipthomason6571]

Regarding the 2 hoovers @ Leicester. Thought they'd all been withdrawn years ago... any info anyone?

[@MalcolmCrabbe]

My god, some of those trains were long ! - excellent video Kyle

[@MikeSmith-nl3jv]

Most CN trains passing my home town, Brighton, Ont., are 12,000 feet long ....!

[@MalcolmCrabbe]

OK let me rephrase that... Long for the UK !

[@KyleLaw19]

Thank you, Malcolm. Appreciated.

[@ricksclick]

Interesting comment. I'm looking at the train lengths compared to here in the US with 2 mile long trains. Not trying to boast though.

[@kyle123481]

Brillant video Kyle -Kyle

[@KyleLaw19]

Thank you.

[@TwmUkLive]

I know it's been a while but what was they doing with them old 56's

[@roobear78]

they were converted to new class 69 with emd 710 engine was pooling them together think it was 18 in total got pooled for the project

[@quintoflyer]

great video

Why?

Harvey Quinn it’s a joke

[@stevekelly5166]

5m21s There is a break in the rail. Watch how every wheel sparks as it bridges the gap. You would not want to be near that on the track.

[@davidknowles2491]

37 884 looks very smart. :)

[@KyleLaw19]

Thanks for watching.

[@simonrichardson5077]

Nice one thanks

[@KyleLaw19]

Thanks for watching.

[@maryellis3661]

whats all the carriages behind the first train with no windows in them?

[@KyleLaw19]

The carriages on the rear are known as barrier vehicles, which are often used to allow locomotives to haul railway vehicles with a different type of coupler or to improve brake force. If you weren't aware, the new carriages being transported are new MK5A carriages for TransPennine Express. They will operate in push-pull mode with class 68 locomotives on services between Liverpool, Manchester, Scarborough and Middlesbrough.

[@tonderen1615]

Dear Kyle do you happen to know what will happen with these class 56 loco's in the second and third ride?

[@KyleLaw19]

Thanks for watching. As stated above, GB Railfreight have purchased these Class 56s from UK Rail Leasing (UKRL). They're likely to be stored at various locations, re-engineered and returned to traffic when required.

[@steventhornton4716]

Was that the 56 scrap surplus?

[@roobear78]

originally but they were converted to a new class with new engines,class 69

[@steventhornton4716]

@corturia that makes sense not sure about the 69 seeing a 56 hearing a 66 just seems wrong like the 57

[@roobear78]

@@steventhornton4716 all comes down to cah at end of day 2 million to refit a 56 or 4 million for brand new loco, i dont think the 69 sounds like the 66 obviously similar but the bodywork defo gives it own unique sound

[@steventhornton4716]

@corturia I agree its a no brainer cash wise but the 56 whilst a good workhorse would give a deltic a run for its money on the rubbish it throws out the top lol

[@roobear78]

@@steventhornton4716 true lol the deltic got style but its cool the 56 i never thought was cool

[@valiantthunderer5783]

Nice video Kyle, what make of video camera do you use? I was looking at buying a video camera instead of constantly using my mobile phone!

[@KyleLaw19]

Thank you very much. I use a Panasonic HC-VX870 to film my videos.

[@cidertom5140]

Wow that’s 13,000 horses in the form of class 56 and I know which locos I’d prefer to hear over a 66.

[@stpancrasinternationalstat1184]

I see DCR don't want 56311 then which was brought to life by them

[@SouthCoastTrainspotter]

Great Video 😁

Thank you.

[@brooklynroad8581]

wow. the class 56's are they going to be the new zomies

At 2.20 I thought 'hang on that doesn't sound right!'........then the answer appeared behind it.......doh!

Thanks for watching.

[@rishavjain7527]

I don't feel bubbly when I see diesels. They look so dirty in compare to the beautiful steam trains out there

[@chrisbalanda9368]

Wagons join with a hook tights up and a red pipe for brakes

[@WhiskeyGulf71]

You see all that rippling on those Pullman mkII coaches? That’s what happens if you let an idiot loose with a sand blaster !!! They look terrible close up, like they’ve been rolled down an embankment.

Thank you. Appreciated.

[@chrisbalanda9368]

Locomotive needs tlc

[@rickybrett9100]

Will never get on with 66s tho and the 70s are ugly. And they sound and look characterless. But having said that your videos sound and quality wise are a+

[@KyleLaw19]

Thank you for your kind comments.

[@chrismarshall3972]

the mk5 coaches look horrible, the crappy "livery" doesnt help.
