Can you remember the number of the engine? The engine number, not the loco! Ta

I walked through one at 125, full throttle. Was an experience! Had to be brave lol. Wind through the bodyside grill by the cooler groups was like a gale.

I would bring ear defenders if I were to go into the engine room of a loud-engined locomotive. Lol

[paxmanvalentaboy]

so would i. i went into an engine of a MTU and i couldent go any further than the turbocharger.

Thank you. Thank you so very much. Awesomeness this video is. Couldn't help but flail with both arms at that!

Brilliant stuff, I can only imagine how much louder it was in actuality than the video shows.

the noise of the mtus is less than the paxmans as they have four small turbos rather than one huge one which screamed. the worst thing about the mtus is the heat from the glowing turbos as you pass them somewhere around 400 degrees plus ,

yes,the 125 group have purchased some valenta engines amongst other bits and bats for hopefully preservation of a hst train!

[polina82]

i love the sound of the valenta

[Steamhead92220]

god! must have been roasting in there! those green valenta engines are soo special

[RM1859]

That was great! Wonder whats happened to all the Valenta engines now they've been replaced. Hope someone keeps a couple for preservation at some stage.
