Just a Moment in Time
But by crikey it sounds like heaven
When the London bound
Makes that throttle-up sound
On its way through pictureque Devon
What a wonderful sound it is. Watched it so many times and it STILL makes the hairs on my arms stand up :D

still sad. love this video

I now volunteer for the NRM Shildon, slowly creeping towards my guards man ticket, then onto my fireman training :)
Would love to go mainline, but they say you should never meet ur heros (work for them in this case)
Hope NRM take a mk3 IC 9 car set + 4 power cars (all valenta's) into preservation.
IC set + 2 Power cars
1 Power car as spares.
1 power for stripping parts to retro-fit the prototype power car (41 001) at York

IC at the very least should not have been privatised.
To much red tape between the ROSCO's, TOC, NR, DfT, RAIB, ect....
Much prefered IC when it was under one name (i know it was BR)
I'd prefer to see the entire rail system go back to "The Big Four" type of running.
If BR never happened what trains would we have now?
I was 5 when this was recorded, don't remmeber alot, but i remmeber the Valenta reducing me to tears as a 5 yr old in Darlington station. Every weekend with my late grandad

now this livery brings back memories. if it wasnt for this livery i dont think i wd love trains as much as i do now :)

Yo G. I went on that site. I couldn't move for the tits on that site. Same goes for youtube when people spam. Good shit G, always like to see some clag.

Loving the double Valentas in the video, 5*! I wish I was able to film more Valenta-powered HST sets! :) Most of the power cars in that region are now predominantly MTUs.

Was the power car passing under the bridge at 2.28 dead?

Yes it's a touch hellfire at 1.49 but what about the guy with two cameras on a single tripod who appears to have NOT taken a picture! I wonder if he now, today regrets it!!!!!
