Its sad they are all going,but the MTU is a far superior engine, Paxman Valenta should never of been used for locomotive use. Its designed to run at a single speed, - its a marine auxillary engine. Lovelly sound though.
The MTU is a wonderful engine. Heard one at Stonehaven. And please don't take this out on another country, delticmatt. After all, they have brought a lot of good trains into this country, like the class 455 and 185.
Soppy music i have to say, Anyway anyone know how to get a part of a valenta engine for keepsake and what would be a good part for keeps??
