Not a big train fan but I prefer one of these two modern day shit

bit of dubstep at 0:47

the internals of these engines were like works of art, the conrods, big ends and crankshaft were machined and polished steel none of your rough castings painted red on these babies.
I remember there was a problem with a wrong type of cylnder head valve being fitted which could break and allow the valve to drop, smash the piston and other two cylinders on the same exhaust manifold and also take out the turbo. Very expensive

I remember seeing one of these in Doncaster works around 1963, newly delivered and ready to enter service. Because I began my spotting in 1958 and loved steam I was never a fan of diesels and deplored the deltics, but I have to admit that the Brush diesels (this was before they became 47s if I recall correctly) looked rather handsome in their original British Railways livery.

Glad to see another one resurrected...keep up the good work, from a Yank doing the same thing to Alco's.

Bloody brilliant news to see another 47 on its way back. Love the bit at 2 mins, the bloke at the back with the 'YES' arm raising. Keep up the good work and lets have some more video updates.
