[Pati198018]

The MTU-engine is a german construction, you can start it, if the engine is warm, you can´t start it cold like other british loco engine, so, it has "clean" exhausts!^^

I still think the valenta should have been given a last hurrah, and given the chance to run without speed limits along HS1.

By no speed limits i mean both track speeds.

Mechanicly and electricly restrictions lifted.

If i recall correctly the prototype HST managed 168mph (correct me if i'm wrong) on normal BR tracks. No where near tracks the condition of HS1

[mrspivvy]

@vectorm1299 more like 148 mph I think but still pretty impressive, the HST was certainly capable of a lot more than track conditions allowed, which is the only reason its limited to 125 mph

Feels like HL2. Need a Combine Strider in there!

[1madaboutguitar]

Oh my god, thank god something drowned out that drone of a station announcer.

[sexsexsex82]

What is the High Pitch whine at the very start of ignition

[TrowbridgeHardcore]

@sexsexsex82 alternator

[h0troddude]

That announcer sound's creepy.

[johnwood57]

Well what can i say? the video is good but i had to turn my volume up full to hear the start up,those engines are crap,come back the valenta's all is forgiven.........lol

[southwestern455]

If they let you in the engine room, its much better

[Trainbuff2008]

lol i know its pretty awfull isn'tit along with the MTU engine!!

[Sephy69]

what the f**k is wrong with the announcer voice. is he/she pre/post op??? lol anyways awesome. its not often i see a mtu fire up! 5*

[1bazman]

@Sephy69 It's a computer-generated announcement from a set of recordings - they use the same (or similar) system at Amsterdam Schiphol. Hell of a lot better than it used to be - you can at least make out that the train is going to North Berwick lol

[BriWayne]

epic

[merseyrail508124]

nice, but you cant beat a valenta!

[Danny55022]

[daveytn]

[smiffy1071]

Compare this with valenta powered 43012 shown elsewhere on YT.

I know which I like better, and this aint it!

[2TEG]

SCRAP. lol sounds like a bus lol

[gner125]

i actulaly like MTU start up altho cant beat a val starting up:P not her blabbing on about north berwickings again lol 5*

[dfoggin]

@gner125 I'm with you totally. Valentas are awesome but if the MTUs mean that we can get a few extra years out of these 43s and create less emissions then I'd rather we had that than a roaring start and a diesel-flavoured cough once they've left ;)
