My favourite "modern day diesel"

Valiant. A strong name

Catterpillar be like Metrolink EMD F125 SRT CSR SDA3 CRRC CDA5B1 (QSY ) and Made in indonesia madiun CC 300 the Ministry of Transportation of the Republic of Indonesia

Are the 68s related at all to the F125 in the states or is it just the same engine? I don't hear much about the class 68 being unreliable

As good a sound as the Deltic.

Oh yeah. He does look like a caterpillar. That's another nick name for the list.

Probably one best looking newish locos on uk tracks now

really great!👌

sounds broken

I wish CSR SDA3 sound like this. They have the same Caterpillar engine yet all I can hear is the loud fan coming out of the locomotives

Came for a listen and as a bonus this is my home Station

Why do the 68/88’s headlights alternate and flash instead of saying solid on or off?

My old man drives these for TPE and the 185s. He says they can really get a shift on when they want to.

Good video clip 👌

I love these new type locos I live very close to a railway line in ashton under-Lyne and they sound good in tunnels I see a few a day on the transpennine route!!!

wish my company (TfW) took these on instead of the dreadful 67's!!!

will never have the sound of a class37 mmmmmmmmmmm now that was true english power mmmmm should i say english electric power well napier deltic engine

I was stood next to one of the TPE 68s in Huddersfield a few weeks ago, and this video managed to capture the vibrations perfectly. Felt almost like I was stood back next to it.

The sound always reminds me of a knackered 47 pulling away hard.

These 68 series locos are brilliant,I went on one to North Wales a couple of years ago,it was pretty nippy out of the station and accelerated up to top speed effortlessly,quick and quiet,that CAT engine is fantastic and does the job beautifully,a little bit of smoke while the Turbos spool up and then as clean as a whistle,outstanding.

Ex scotrail had a few miles of that

When you think of the old class 37s with their lumbering growl and then hear the 68s high pitched almost turbine like whine you realise that technology has moved on. The 37s did a herculean job over the years and were true workhorses and were all over the network.

Reminded me of the sound of a SD40-2

The most powerful British diesel since Kestrel went on a long weekend.

Lovely shot

What time will it get back to Crewe??

Gee they pull.wat horsepower

Need to name one Colin and one Cuthbert

Sounds like SD40.

Looks much better now got rid of Crappy Scotrail Livery.

6k05 going over Whalley arches! 😎

Enjoyed it very much.Great video.

I've just realised that 68007 formerly worked the Scotrail operated Fife Circle Line peak time services. It worked said services up to March 2020.

A 66 on steroids 😱😱

Straight to notch eight! Lovely sound these units make under load.

I haven’t come across a model sound system that can emulate that sound yet. Brilliant.

Nice video 👏👏👍 Rory
