8 seconds ago

i cabbed 252001 in 1976 .we hated them on the western reigon .because they along with the 400s .robbed us of the proper power .class 52 .but 34 years is a long time .and in reality the german engines now power class 1 passenger trains again .

[DRS47501]

great shots 5*

[89001avocet]

Thanks :)

[Leylandbasher]

Nice vid. A truly Hellfire powercar, rest in peace. Still 43310 is gd, i rode the beast from leeds to edinbrugh and back later that day :D. Fantastic vid 5* and faved. btw, whats that noise at 1:28?

[89001avocet]

Thanks!! 43310 is seriously nice...that noise, accompanied by 'Inspector Sands' basically means that a fire-alarm has been activated in a 'public' area of the station, so will a member of staff check it out before everyone is evacuated

[luke9620]

do they still make hst

[89001avocet]

You mean, building new powercars?

No, out of production 30yrs ago nearly

[Leylandbasher]

Total Höllenfeuer! :D 5*

[89001avocet]

Danke Schön!!

[Norfolkscot]

NXEC livery is a disaster as is the name.

[89001avocet]

I dunno...the livery's not that bad, it's just boring, but the name has brought the ECML into disrepute :(

[howarth004]

great video, sounds are great too.

[89001avocet]

Thanks!!

[AllianceB95]

Awesome vid ! 5*

Tolles Video 5*

[89001avocet]

Cheers!!

Danke!!

[ACranesvideos]

its a great shame to loose 43110 and GNER itself!

[89001avocet]

Times change and you have to move on...noone really liked NXEC taking over GNER but that's life!! :(

[ACranesvideos]

thats very true m8!

[2TEG]

BEAST. BETTER THAN GERMAN SHITE.

[89001avocet]

She is a beast yes...BUT WHY DO YOU HAVE TO KEEP SPAMMING EVERYTHING YOU GET YOUR STUPID HANDS ON??!!

[2TEG]

im not spamming ur videos. im just speaking my mind. freedom of speech. u have no right to slag of our british stuff over your german rubbish. saw ur msn headling "bring on 310" wat a load of crap u talk. either u like our stuff or take ur german ass back to germany.

[89001avocet]

Wrong again; this anti-MTU crap is just legalised spam.

As for taking "my german ass"...at least I have a clue about what I'm talking...and I reminded you about Freedom of Speech last time you started talking bollocks on msn...oh wait, that was the last time you spoke; that's every time you speak!!

Regarding 43310...I know; only you dissaproves of her - 311 is also a beast!! :)

[StationEndGroup]

dont forget 43305, my lordz haha :D

[89001avocet]

Hellfire!! :)

[TheXtremeEnthusiast]

no, everytime u say something bad about the mtu's, it causes an argument, some opinions are just best kept to yourself, and david doesnt talk crap, he respects the HSTs watever the engine!! and we know u hate mtu so stop reminding us!!

[89001avocet]

Hear Hear!!

[wk1294]

Maybe it would be better if you didn't try to speak your mind. You now full well that David and most other enthusiasts have accepted them. Probs best to keep your MTU thoughts to the safe confines of 2TEG. I reckon they'll be welcome there.

VALENTA = HELLFIRE

MTU = FUTURE

[89001avocet]

Yay...someone else's got the right idea...cheers for that!! :)

[yorkshirerailvideos]

"R.I.P" A True Beast 43310 is on her way

[89001avocet]

ta!

[stephensrailways]

Quality video...plenty of scream plenty of howling, everything that symbolises the Valenta powered HSTs!

[89001avocet]

Agreed, and thanks!! :)

[UKTrainMan]

You're a legend for this video and 43110 'Stirlingshire' is and always will be a true east coast legend and a "Beast Of The East Coast"....nice one buddy!

[89001avocet]

Thank you!! :)

[WSXFan]

"Beast of the East", love it!

Sad news gents, 110 was off to Brush at 0928 off Craigentinny this morning. Gen from scot-rail group. Another went with it, unknown number.

RIP 43110, farewell to thy greatness.

[89001avocet]

Aye, leaving NL early this morning (6th Dec.) on the final leg.

[WSXFan]

Gutted. Is 43053 still about?

[89001avocet]

Apparently gone south to Brush today, with 43056

[WSXFan]

It is an excellent video, of which there is zero doubt. Lots and lots of lovely noise, just the way I like it.

Apparently 110+051 have been fixed and sat on EC. They *may* be used, depending on whether any MTUs decide to burst. Here's hoping that happens a lot and that the Valentas have the last laugh!

[89001avocet]

Thanks for that update; would indeed be nice to see 'Stirlingshire' having the "last laugh", I just have my doubts!! :(

[WSXFan]

No problem, thought the news might not be widespread yet. Ta Graham on HSTgen for the news.

I'm so hoping 110 comes out again. I had her on the rear of 1M28 in the summer, she's an absolute monster!

[89001avocet]

Fantastic creature!! :)

[scott5175]

nice vid!

[89001avocet]

ta.

[dieselmanmike]

[89001avocet]

[PoliceAndTrainMadNat]

[89001avocet]

Cheers!!

[HSTjohnny]

Nice Tribute to 43110 a true east coast ledgend.

[89001avocet]

thanks!!

[LMSStanier]

Excellent. 5* The GNER livery is nice but for me the Intery City livery is the best.

[89001avocet]

Thanks, and fair enough - each to their own!!

[LMSStanier]

Don't get me wrong cos the GNER livery is mint too.

[ay76]

Nice one.5*

[89001avocet]

[bradleigh10]

She was truely a legend. Sadly I only seen her in person once when she was GNER.

[89001avocet]

Aye, oh well...43310: "Coming to a station near you"; it's not like anything major's happened!!

[bradleigh10]

I am heading Retford on Saturday so you know I might bump into it there, if not, I have a few more visits the the ECML next year.

[89001avocet]

Almost zero chance of me being at Retford I'm afraid; I'm in Mirfield all day Sat.

[bradleigh10]

Suppose, I hope i do see it tho.

[89001avocet]

If it's 43110 you're after, she's at Brush already!!

[bradleigh10]

[WSXFan]

Frothing like mad time, but merr:

Gotta say, I was having a mega-flail during some of that, with bellows of "WHAT A F**KING MONSTER!" and such like too.

110 is truely a beast and you've captured some brilliant performances from her there. It will be a sad day when she goes to Brush.

Favourited the video and 5* rated on my own and my brother's YouTube accounts.

Keep 'em coming!

[89001avocet]

Thank you; btw. that "sad day" was mid-morning today; 43051+110 went south through Leeds about 10mins before I got there!! :(

[89001avocet]

43310!! :)

[Stirlingshire43110]

I can't beleive it. NXEC what have you done!
