Valentas + 47813, Shrivenham 23 November 2000

Featuring six Great Western HSTs plus 47813 "SS Great Britain" & 165128. THe HSTs featured are 43164 & 43165, 43002 & 43141, 43146 & 43132, 43139 & 43026, 43138 & 43177 and 43172 & 43144. This was recorded in the post Hatfield era, hence the various temporary speed restriction signs. Hang on to the end - the noise of the opening up of the Valenta engines is, in my opinion, worth it!

The sound alone is great! I never much liked that paint scheme. I prefered the 'Merln' livery that came before.
