D1062 Western Courier hellfire Departure from Irwell Vale 4-7-09

[TangmereTornado]

I saw a vid the other day entitled 'Class 70 hellfire clag!' or something like that. It was basically pathetic, a burp of clag and almost silence. Damn ugly, silent, and about as evocative as a sponge pudding. This on the other hand may be less powerful, 'efficient' etc, but my GOD does it make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up. CAN I GET A 'MY LORDS'!!

Terrific departure and acceleration.

[ThousandBasher]

Very Nice, Very Very Clagtastic. And with those MD655's just singing. That does it, I have got to get up to the East Lancs when eitheir D1041 returns to service or when another western visits the line.
