  • My dad let me start one of these up once. That button fucking hurts your finger, takes about 30 seconds of holding that in to start it up :/

  • don't push the red button

  • Love the slice of BR tea in the styrene cup. Haven't seen one of those for 30 years.... Nor chewed on one.

  • Well if all you guys are all upset over an aside like that, and don't realize that I wasn't serious, maybe you should worry about getting you life started, rather than the paxman valenta!

  • THe Pxman Valentas were magnificient engines. The Mirrlees Blackstones sounded much whinier.

  • I knew a girl like that once, where you had to do that to start her up. :)))

  • Nobody's noticed that he was using the wrong finger.

  • wtf does it matter what finger you use?

  • @EsquireOfTheEstate wrong finger?! hahaha lol how sad.

  • @RocksNotDead101 Yeah, sorry! going out later to get a life.

  • seems like that button is for the long wait

  • I hope it's not a difficult one to keep pressed down! But it looks like it!

    I guess it's one of those with a rubber sheet on top and a pointy small bit (that makes the electrical contact) underneath the rubber sheet! Or it could be a circular plastic one like on the Tyne & Wear Metro until recently.

  • The rubber type ; )

  • Does one's finger hurt after a few goes at starting up!!!!

  • bad quality

  • Its run on chip-fat actually. lol

  • Lol.

    Sprog030 can get his sad arse off here! :@

  • Catch U Next Tuesday, matey :-P

  • I hope you get run over!

  • Sprog030

  • Needs more bass.. I love the sound of these locos

  • Yep. Perhaps there should be a proper filming undertaken by a producer of railway DVDs (for good quality) or maybe the HSTs even deserve their half hour of recognition on mainstream television. They're not just any old train!

  • I also mean that there should be a bit with the startup - both inside and outside the cab.

  • It was the first train that scared the hell out of me and one for which I grew up to have a healthy respect for in terms of size and power and to convey this you need the full spectrum of sound.. from that fan whistle to the bassy sounding exhaust note. In fact this and the Deltic.. my god.. how did drivers stay awake for getting tired out by the loud murmuring rumble that came from the engine room????

  • When I was less than 10 years old I always had to cover my ears whenever the power car was going past me leaving York station. I was worried it would damage my ears!

  • nope...its not electric lol

  • Sprog030 you dont know a good sound when you hear one. valentas rule!
