Clag from a vp185 its good that East Midlands Trains are keeping the vp185 in their power Cars.

They should never stop making these trains! Never! The best train ever created. Not too fast like in Japan or France and a lovely roaring engine aswell. Perfect for tarin lovers like me.

Ive seen and been on the 43 170 and i love that it takes forever to pick up revs ashame its a MTU now

It did in 1987, but in 1994 43170 was the test powercar for the VP185 and that's why it became named "Edward Paxman"

Even a VP185 is better than the pathetic excuse of an engine that`s replacing the Valentas & VP185. Okay maybe the MTU engine is keeping the HST in service for a few more years but don`t they sound awful? All you get is a quiet purr & then a pathetic grunt!

[89001avocet]

Agree but yes, it's better than more Adelantes!

[bronzeonion]

adalentes scream abit with the cummins qsk or watever u call it engine!
