urgh, turn that diesel off, why is it even there, must be something to do with the RETB.

I hate it when they put diesels on these tours :'(

It totally spoils the essence of steam Sound of the engine chugging away, exhaust fumes & horns instead of whistle. I know they are there to help but the tours look so much better when there is a second steam engine there providing the help as opposed to the diesel

[Wonkawillie77]

@whitewingsrich I agree. They do that in the States as well but in our case the diesel is also used for dynamic braking for the rest of the train and that may be why they do it in England as well. Just a thought.

The Hogwarts Express is part of the seven "Harry Potter" films.

[RealGuyProductions]

You "didn't see Harry Potter" because he's just a character from seven films called "The Sorcerer's/Philosopher's Stone", "The Chamber of Secrets", "The Prisoner of Azkaban", "The Goblet of Fire", "The Order of the Phoenix", "The Half-Blood Prince", and "The Deathly Hallows (presented in two parts)".

[MrRWJP]

@RealGuyProductions Harry Potter is a character from 7 books...

The books came before the movies.

[RealGuyProductions]

@MrRWJP I know.

[BuddLightbrain]

The Diesel looks out of place on this!

[thomas5070]

most of these locations were in the movies! nice work

[NeosparkJ80]

Are those steam locomotives still running?

[MrRWJP]

@NeosparkJ80 Yes, there are hundreds of steam locomotives in the UK running in preservation.

[GordonFreemanD40]

Diesel loco used as an APCU or APU. Why can't they just borrow one from GO transit of Canada?

[RealGuyProductions]

Thank you very much! I think that's the train from Scotland which I have never been on before!

[jammiebeasts]
