*NEW* Chiltern's 172104 @ Didcot 29/5/11

[EWS60500]

lovely unit, was that a Chiltern driver at the controles, or a Didcot railway volunteer?

[andyncfcgetshypedup]

I think that train sounds more quieter compare to other Turbostars who dont have MTU engines fitted beneath the train. This train is the newest and quietest turbostar to be used on the Chiltern Mainline.

[class313]

Its not a turbostar...

[andyncfcgetshypedup]

@class313 Yes it is but some Turbostars like this one have been fitted with brand new Diesel MTU Engines to reduce the noise of the engine.

[class313]

@andyncfcgetshypedup I stand corrected, thought it wasn't, apologies

[zaccee1996]

@class313 no problem

[howarth004]

How gay I was there on Saturday and no 172 running but when I am not there its let lose! But I did get to go inside it tho.

[zaccee1996]

@justinfoulger lol

[justinfoulger]

@HSTCalvin well I have a different opinion.

[HitchinTrains]

I CABBED THAT =D Lol

[zaccee1996]

@HitchinTrains same :P

[justinfoulger]

@HSTCalvin I know the 170 was much better design but the 172 is just bits of stuff mangled together which makes it a horrid train!
