Although an impressive-looking machine, the locomotive (as originally built) was not a success, and this - along with the later decision to 'dieselise' BR - meant that no more of the type were ever built, so 'The Duke' remained the sole member of its class. Fundamental design errors and undetected deviations from the drawings were made during construction, which combined to prevent 'The Duke' from ever achieving its expected performance in BR days.

was 57601 in Barry??!! I didn't know diesels were sent there too!!!
-
is that view from Arnside?
-
Surely you know its history? I saw it in Barry scrapyard in 19** And I saw its first run on the GCR!
-
Ditto, BR's best steam locomotive IMHO :)
-
57601? Scrapped? You gotta be kidding! The amount of tours it hauls each month is proberly greater than the amount of times 71000 gets out and about in a year!

What is that beat when the loco's standing still? Westinghouse?

Yes indeed, it is the rythm of the brake pump exhausting thru the loco's chimney. For more strange examples see my 'I'm on the road again' video clip.

That nice diesel did a great job today, still prefer the Duke though
