The curtain closed on Valenta action in the uk today (6th Jan 11) as 43084 and 43123 turned there wheels as Valenta's for the very last time. The final chapter in their life book was written with a Kilmarnock-Loughbrough move dead behind WCRC's 57601. Here the convoy departs Crewe after a brief driver change on the final leg of it's journey. R.I.P to a famous and much loved engine type...............please 'like' and comment as you wish.
Cheers - 87002theBEAST

  • great vid sad occasion hopefully they will return as a charter stock in the hst???!!

  • Shame to lose the valentas but better HST with MTU than no HST replaced by some modern plastic crap. Hopefully the new engines will clag a bit when broken in.

  • upsetting to say the least, i filmed 43123 in HD and 43084 on my phone but i will miss them :(,all we have now is the ]vp185s and mtus biut the vps are already starting to take after their older brothers :)

  • Well, someone had to get a superb vid of the last two valentas in the country departing, and you the man! Thanks mate, much appreciated.

  • R.I.P Paxman Valenta (1976-2010) - The legendary scream may be gone, but it almost certainly never will be forgotten. But alas, it is time to move on...

    They should have sneakily started up the GC Powercars, so that Crewe could echo to the sound of Valentas one last time! LOL

    Anyway, smashing video as usual John!

  • Goo vid John, farewell to the legend!

  • Great vid, John :)

    Such a shame to see the Valentas go, they've served us so well and excited us enthusiasts for so long! lol (the one's who actually appreciate Valentas! :P)

    RIP to real HSTs...

    Best wishes,

    Rob (37057viking)

  • thats a shame i loved the scream of the vals

  • Well that as they say is that no more scream and thick grey clag from HST PC's anymore............ Yet let the MTUs wear in a little and in 10 years time we could be having the Valentas second age lets wait and see brilliant vid John 87006.
