- For a long time, the Class 15 Preservation Society, based at the East Lancashire Railway, has been engaged in a project to restore the only surviving class 15 diesel loco D8233 to working order.
Saturday 19th June 2010 marked a glorious milestone in progress, when D8233's sixteen cylindered Paxman 16YHXL engine was started up for the first time. These clips show the final checks being made, before the engine springs to life; loads of static thrash and clag ensured that the startup was a great success. Although there is still a long way to go before restoration is completed, the loco is making sound progress.

I remember the occasional BTH Type1 loco making it up to Doncaster in the mid to late 1960's.
They were rare beasts and always good to see.
Thanks for sharing. It'll be great to see this one up and running again.
now that is serious clag.nice to see its being worked on after lying around for years.this loco is going to be a credit to its owner and the restoration team
The moment they get that moving, Legomanbiffo will be trying to record it for his model train sounds collection.
There's a sound by him for the 15 that has been released recently :)
It's a mobile clag machine , cant wait to see it finished , well done to the team rebuilding it
Indeed!
As I type this, this startup happened longer ago than the locomotive actually ran in service, under 9 years!
FANTASTIC! What an amazing shot! Lovely clag!
great stuff, look forward to hearing it pulling trains one day
The last 15, maybe if someone did enough work it could be rebranded as a Class 15 1/2 since it and the 16 were pretty much one in the same type of engine.
nice intro m8 ,, awesome stuff !!
Now thats a start up !!!! :) truly clagtastic !! thumbs up !
Sounds very like a Class 20.
Now we just need the Metrovick ....
interesting... a Paxman sounding like an EE but not quite... fascinating stuff!
Debonair Extraordinaire Ruston Hornsby, Paxman, Ruston Paxman, Paxman, mirrlees, English Electric, GEC became part of the same company which is now part of MAN and was owned by Alstom at one point.
well done
thats one clagy start liked
WWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! intro seems to be like mine!
@theamateurbasher if you want to see one running watch this!
''British diesel, electric and steam trains in 1959 - "British Locomotives"''
Just seen it !
type it in and you will see it in there somewhere at 6m along with a Metrovic too!
@theamateurbasher no probs m8 ,,thats a great bit of film ,, !
How long before it will be back in working order?
excellent bettter to see her roaring than be on the scrap heap, wouldn't you agree, and with the the paxman valenta's now gone a new one (old one) arises from the ashes :)
10*
God this thing is being rebuilt? It was a failure now they’re rebuilding it
And hopefully it'll be working better, than it did before.
Don’t let green piece see this
Bit late for that now! :P
There seems to be some bit's missing... :/
This is a NO smoking or vaping area lol
what's happened with it since? haven't heard any updates at all.
As far as I'm aware, the restoration is still ongoing. Keep in mind though, that it still takes a great deal of time, money and effort into bringing her back into service.
If you're after more info, I would recommend visiting www.d8233.org.uk/.
Thanks for commenting!
How's this project coming along? It's been a while since this film was shot.
Presumably, she's coming on nicely, slow but steady. Don't forget, these sort of projects take a very long time (taking into account funding and labour)... Hopefully it will all be worth it when she's eventually up and running...
Nearly five years since this happened. Blimey!
Thanks for commenting Dave!
Ive fired a steam engine up a 1 in 21 gradient and we didnt make as much smoke as this!!! :P nice video dude
Hi there, am quite new to the older stock of BR locomotives...may I know which class of locomotive is that whose face is just about visible on the left?
its a class 24
ah yeh soz saw it in descrption :)
is this the only one saved?
Yes,unfortunately
Nice steam train you got there! XD Jokes I do know it's a diesel :P
Why all the white smoke? Too much easy start? Lol
Sounds really good though.
Not sure of the white smoke. And the nearby 20087 provided the power for the motor...
Thanks for commenting!
White smoke, to me, says unburned diesel. I'm guessing cold engine and a need to set it up. Making sure the engine is runable?
g8ymw Yeah, just trying the engine out. It'll be a good few years before D8233 is fully functional again, but meantime, this was a good taster of what to expect when the task is gradually completed...
Thanks for commenting!
It kinda sounds like a chopped up class 20
Ironically, the Class 15's engine was being jump-started by 20087 (at the time), so you're right in one respect... :D
@@TheAmateurBasher1984 yeah but I saw in one old video from 1957 of the doyen of the class D8200 at Euston they showed the Motor inside the engine room and the sound sounded exactly like the class 20 it's on TH-cam somewhere I can send u the link if youd like
