When I was ten train spotter, NS was an awesome place. Lots of 47's. Many 50's. And the occasional peak and 37 Plus the various class 8x electric locos. Then of course the 20's passing thru on post and other freight services
Great video I saw D345 at Longbridge and then Went to new street to see Scott’s guardsman and now I’m waiting to see the polar express at Birmingham Moor street
I was on the 323 unit coming into New St!! Just had time to register that the once in a blue moon occasion of something interesting was happening there!! Great video.
Another lovely video well done great camera work as usual I am really enjoying your lovely videos and camera work keep your lovely camera work up I am really looking forward to seeing your next video I hope you get a nice video next time also when is your next video going to be on TH-cam bye for now Philip
I believe it was built like this to spread the weight over more axles , hence the better route availability ( RA ) of 6 , the manufacturer could have put it on fewer axles but the RA would have been probably 7 or 8 resulting in it being barred from some routes .
kevinsylvester770 is right When these locos were built the maximum axle load was going to be too high for 3 axles. The less powerful class 37 that was built after these and has a similar look has more tractive effort on 6 axles, by the time they were built lighter components were available so although this one is my favourite type the later class 37 is the better of the two built.

Great video 👍. Just seen Scots Guardsman speed through Widney Manor, now onto the Polar Expresses!
great video and 40 thrash this was a proper day, I catched these around reading and I got a video if you want to take a look.

Great shots - I managed to get both of these tours through Tilehurst
Excellent action yesterday
Was at Burton-on-Trent this morning to film the Class 40 and the Northern Belle Burton-on-Trent to Edinburgh complete with bagpiper
Saw it at Berkeley Junction. Love the wobble when the horn went 😳
Can’t resist! 🤣🙈
Amazing
I managed to catch sight of it between Pangbourne and Tilehurst this morning about 11.50 am. Heard the sound and sprinted across a field to see it.
Well worth a sprint that one 👌💯👍
Sounding great. Heading out soon to see D213 which is replacing Sir Nigel Gresley round Fife today.

I remember 40s at New Street. It was in the 60s /70s proper locomotives spotting days
I can see myself on Scots Guardsmans tour 😂
Bit of a flinch there, 😁
As standard 🤣🤣👍
That was what we used to call a "Brush 4" bringing up the rear. Class 47, did anyone else call them this?
Perdy girl 😊
!!EVERY. SINGLE . TIME!! lol
Everyone has got to have a calling card 🤣🤣🙈
Lovely video, thanks. Anyone know what the little star emblems mean, just above the buffers on the 40?
Multiple working configuration. 'Blue Star'
Was wondering how you got in the middle of the tracks then realised it was a curved platform at Wolverhampton 😂😂
hello there from Australia .......is it normal for this leading loco to have 4 axles each end instead of the usual 3 axles.
