I grew up with these running up Wyrley Bank south of Cannock at the top of my garden. 56s, 58s and paired 20s mainly with the odd 47 for variety. The 58s were quite civil and relatively quiet compared to the flat out scream of a 56 at full bore.
Great locos to drive if you knew how to anticipate the wheelslip. Quieter than a 56 but just as good,if not marginally better. Withdrawn far to soon for political reasons.
Brilliant vid m8!! I love the eggtimer class 58's!! The true coal hauler of Britain!!
Muy buen video 👌✔️

which year was dis?
Idle speed is a bit fast! Sounds like a load bank thrash! Great!
WHY does anyone want to preserve one of these? Its not exactly a 37, 40, 56, 55, 52 or anything worth keeping?
40s, 55s or 52 arent worth keeping. A 58 definitely is, they actual have sounds and character to them...
