[gbbug01]

I saw 57313 tracey island and 57316 FAB1 today in Holyhead 57316 is nolonger in Virgin colours in is a shity shade of blue and has lost its name plate bastards cant leave nothing alone

[DazrahT]

Hopefully not long then before they are re-engined with Sulzer 12LDA28C engines, re-classified as Class 47's, as they should be :)

[gbbug01]

Steady there I dont think there is anything wrong with the 57's apart from being ugly and mutant looking they work very hard and the thunderbird theme is good to spot

[scouselfcmjp]

WOW,that would be progress, putting a 45 yr old power unit back in! Lets hope all the main line 47`s go to Loughborough to re-engined with GM645 power units! Great sound,great power,more reliable.more efficient........etc,etc,etc,e­tc,etc,etc,etc,etc,etc.

[sootywokka]

you have got to be taking the piss surely with this pish post, you sad muppets

[JCRailAirProduction]

people like you are all the same with rail enthusiasts, you sad muppets, sad cunts, get a life, all that crap. we are no different to you. if you hate trains so much, who bother looking for this then, just so you can insult us? now thats sad wouldnt you say ;)

[bigwillfaetherigs]

Wheres all your fantastic videos then??? FUCK ALL and thats all you ever will be you tosser

[PrentonPimp]

You ALWAYS find that the knobhead anti-rail gimps have NO videos. FACT. Sad isn't it?

[gaz318]

Why the fuck you watching stuff you don't like ? get a life you sad chav tosser instead of watching the internet all day in yoru crusty boxers!, at least the maker of this video was able to find the front door, unlike you.

[kennyellaway]

Bet he's the same sad little boy who thinks rail fans are still called "trainspotters" and wear anoraks and have egg mayo sandwiches and a thermos of tea, jotting down train numbers as they go by and getting really excited about class 60 diesels in network south east livery heading to crewe to get new TWPS units fitted. He needs to climb into a wardrobe and have a word with himself...

[kennyellaway]

im talking about sootywokka, not anyone else on here...just to clarify...great clip btw

[andy33202]

i see one of the 'thunderbirds' parked at rugby station all the time

[PrentonPimp]

You gotta love the 'bodysnatchers' - They make Pendo's bearable!!

[mothity]

Oh, i dunno - Pendo's are alright-ish I guess ;) Mind you, the other day we all had to get off one at Stafford because (and I quote from the train manager) 'There is too much pressure being put on this train'. When we got off and were walking up the stairs you could hear it hissing and steaming! Then a 37 came through and clagged up the station, which was great.

[HSTHoward]

virgin 57's om the queen mary stock**???!!* cool

[UnCanadienFrancais]

thunderbirds ???

[DazrahT]

This particular type of locomotive in the UK was commissioned by Virgin Trains to rescue failed trains/operate on diversions. All the loco's carry names of characters/vehicles in Thunderbirds, hence the title.

[charpet10]

Yeah, I thought Voyagers were the only ones that went there

[scruffwood]

Yep that is a shit hot clip,Great filming and sound

[DazrahT]

See I do learn...eventually! Could do with some WD40 on the tripod axis to stop it jolting.

[jim40135]

Yeah that's far better! :o)

[DazrahT]

I was testing the water with the music, but I agreed it's better without it.

[DazrahT]

By popular demand the music has been removed, this version includes just the train!
