It is purely coincidental that this video ended up being 43 minutes long as well!
43105 and the chap on the platform, on his phone with the hand and finger in his other ear! 😂 That sums up the beautiful sounds of the HST. Thanks for the enjoyment.
It's brought back some great memories making this
Fingers crossed we'll be hearing this majestic sound again once 43044 comes out of restoration.
We have a 125 Group Valenta + VP185 set that did its first tour so thats atleast 1 out there!
@Grumpycat1611 planning on my making a trip across the pond to the UK,
Is there anywhere to check upcoming excursion trips?
@@MrRailfan I suggest checking the 125 group site if your looking for the 43's But if you want just your generic railtours, i suggest checking things like RailAdvent. Let me know if i can help further!
The sound of my childhood, growing up next to the Temple Meads to Paddington line and later in life included many trips.
Likewise with me. Whereabouts were you?
Fabulous Valenta noise...I love it! Thanks for posting
Gner Hsts was the most stunning Livery ever & real screamers
I’m a valued intercity fan!
Paxmax Valenta only!
Not MTU
Travelling on one of these for your train journey is like your taxi driver turing up in a V8 Mustang.
They are very noisy trains, I know because I've stood next to them.
GNER probably one of the better liveried HSTs on the Railway, just wished they'd have stayed around longer.
We used to watch the 125’s fly through Doncaster station in the mid 80’s. Amazing train.
28:21 Fav time-point :)
For the era GNER operated in, the video quality is top notch. I was born too late to see these in their heyday, 05, but to have nigh on 2024 video quality does wonders for the immersion. Bravo👏👏
Thank you very much. It was filmed on a fairly high end (in its day!) Sony video camera, so the picture and sound were about the best you could get prior to HD!
Best train sound ever.
No, that was a Deltic
Growing up in Reading this was one of the sounds of my childhood. I really miss seeing these go past where I live.
At some stations the valentas aren't allowed to leave with significant throttle as seen here 31:27 what a beast
God the valenta engine gives me goose bumps shame theres no more
Hello. I really like the roaring sound of the locomotive on this train.
I am so glad I got to experience the HST IC125 trains in 1983. For one week I emersed myself with Britrail with a youthpass. Fondest memories remain precisely recalled.
I would imagine you would never get bored driving these beauties for a living.
I absolutely love!
Paxman Valenta❤
Id like to bet the Valenta engines would have lasted much longer if they would have been started at atleast 60-70 celcius all the time.
Such a shame sooo many great Valenta's are history oor MTU'd Clearly them MTU 4000s are slower.
Buuut the video was 43 mins of pure joy!
Thanks for this !

There’s nothing quite like noise of valentas from best train the world 😊😊😊
I was a signalman in Darlington Power Box from 1987 to it’s closure in 1991, and the sound of the southbound London trains as they left platform 1 and passing the signalbox was amazing, good compilation video, thank you 😊
Music to the ears! Just one suggestion: how about adding the locations to the popup-tags on the left ? Or periodically pan the shot to a station name board (prob a bit late now for this) ?
East Coast and Midland HST drivers had the advantage of being diagrammed also to work higher-performance traction, eg 91s and 222s, so it's only natural I suppose that they aimed for sparkling HST acceleration to close the gap a bit especially when making up lost time! Sadly, same couldn't be said for the GWML where FGW had a small fleet of 180s which only a minority of HST drivers also worked.
Best sound going can't beat a hst with valentas fitted 😊😊😊
So nice
Where are our beautiful engines going?
México, Tren interoceánico
I could listen to this the whole day. BTW, I have these still in service close to me in Mexico. I hope to share a video soon.
They could have skipped installing the diesel engine completely and used the turbo as a gas turbine based on the sound alone.
Probs the best video compilation of the HST Valenta
The sound of my childhood, the raw power 😁 I hope to see some restored heritage line machines allowed to do mainline specials once in a while.
2:26 bro just causally walking off the platform
4:46 THE FLYING BANANA
HST's Very nice!! I much lovely train.😘
This is a certified hst moment.
So miss these screamers, yes they in part killed the loco Hauled, but they were great sounding as well as fast. I used to work in a call centre, HSTs started working to Bournemouth on XC services, before the building had air-conditioning the windows were open, by me, the departures we were meant to close them... No chance, scream away! :P
I see what you did there 😁👍 - 43 minutes of 43's!
Nice video 5⭐s 👍👍👍😎
The Class 67 makes a lesser, but valiant attempt to provide platformside tunefulness these days, and quite respectable show when idling
@@richierich6991 I do like a good skip!
To this day I think GNER had the best looking livery of the all the operators on the ECML. Probably the second greatest in my opinion above the flying Original 125 livery and the just below the Intercity Swallow.
I so love ❤ hst
Goosebumps aplently!!! Absolute heaven!!
Brilliant video
All trains driven by greta thunberg
Gas turbine sounds like a jet engine
rode an electric train in W.Germany 1977 a few times. tripping
sounds awesome!!!
Some had buffers and others did not. Interesting.
Quick moment to include the Pacer at 22:03.
The best British Train ❤
hey im a newbie with trains and I'm wondering what actually is clag? if anyone could answer pls do
It's the thick smoke from the exhaust :)
@@stephensrailways ah thank you 😊
That belongs to a museum!
Good old 125-43's in National Express. G.N'E.R, early Midland mainline livery. the awesome sound of a 125, as the driver opens the throttle
Darlington!❤
Super Züge
Everything has gone to shit!!
This is the best ever!
I totally agree!😢
