Watching this made me think back to about 11 years ago when Ixion was at Crewe Heritage Centre undergoing maintenance (or something of the sort). The engineer working on her invited me into the cab for a look round and I even got to start up the engine - the noise was unbelieveable but what a memorable childhood experience.

Brilliant video! I've seen D172 on "A feast of Diesels" at Ramsbottom.
So special, it's added to my favourites!
