love this vid. Don't suppose you have any vids of aureol herself back in the day? Apart from D200, she was the only 40 i had for haulage on the main line. Cheers for sharing

Oh yes!
Thank you for capturing the very essence of why the class 40s appealed to me so much in sound and vision!
The engine noise was a huge factor but the filthy oily overworked state of the late surviving 40s made them even better.
Please please please someone dig out some footage of 40177 returning on the "Devonian" railtour.The driver was hellbent on destroying the engine and boy what a journey!
All the best to all you fans of this class past and present.
R.I.P. Uncle Jack.

@99891268 Mate, I started bashing 40s in 1982 and am still GUTTED that I wasn't born earlier!

Speaking as an ignoramus (but also someone who turned 14 in 1984), why is this such a big deal? Why are there so many trainspotters, and why are so many people waving out the train?

@ka4426 I'm guessing that you aren't a train crank?! A number of people of your age at that time will have spent every moment of free time "bashing" (i.e. travelling behind locos in order to have them for haulage). Summer was the peak time and by summer 1984 class 40s were very rare on passenger trains (being freight engines by that time). Therefore, when an engine like 40 082 worked a passenger train it would be wedged full of bashers.

I'm taking 40145 from Carlisle to Inverness and back next weekend. Will it be as hellfire as this d'ya reckon?
