    Nice video I love the sounds of these beasts I seen 40145 in 2015 in br large logo with yellow cabs I didnt realise it was a class 40 at 1st at the east lancs railway in bury near Manchester It looked more like a class 37 in that unusual livery that was never applied to any br class 40s in the 1980s and nice to see this locomotive earning it's keep by doing some real work on the mainline!!!😎

    I'm really pleased and surprised to see a Class 40 back on the mainline and in such original condition with her headcodes still in tact and in working order. I didn't know their ultimate fate or whether there were any survivors that escaped the scrap heap. I love the Class 66 too but she looks completely dwarfed when stood side-by-side with the Class 40 at 1:59.

Two questions for you though Mike.... 1s...why did the 1st coach had, what appeared to be an air vent out the side of the carriage? Beautiful livery on the coaches by the way..... 2nd question... I was on the M5 /M6 split at Bescot and there was a double headed class 37s there roughly at 16.30 this afternoon..... Yellow in colour (both of them), in the sidings nearest to the motorway..... Urm..... Do you happen to know the numbers please Mike? With the most kindest regards from Nige.

    So, this is the famous "Deltic" locomotive, with its diesel engine based on the Mercedes-Benz "Schnellboot" engines of World War 2?
    And are the British so very afraid of seeing out of running trains or been seen as seated in them, that they choose to either minimize (or even block out) windows on their passenger compartments?

    • @antman09ful1

      Class 40 had 16 cylinders and 4 t/blowers ( hence the whistling ). The 37s had 12 cylinders and 2 t/blowers but with intercoolers to increase power per cylinder, but the cyl/heads, pistons, con rods and fuel pumps were the same plus many other parts. The 37s had the bigger blowers with intercoolers to boost output because the original order in 1960 was for E. A. R.and they had to climb to 9,500 ft from Mombasa to the inter land. Then B. R. Ordered them in 1963. Good loco more versatile.
