43110 "Stirlingshire": The Valenta's final showdown!!

A decent look at 43110 over the past few years of her life, showing her in/around the local area and the variety of other power cars she's been coupled to during this time.

Looking back we see her coupled to:
- 43038,
- 43051,
- 43096,
- 43108,
- 43111,
- 43115,
- 43238,
- 43296,
- 43300,
most of which are now MTU-fitted themselves; indeed some appear in that list in both 'formats'.

Sincere thanks to anyone and everyone who donated any material, be it pictures or videos, to this good cause; I hope no offence is taken by choosing only to use my own pictures & videos; I did never realise how much material I myself had.

The observant amongst you may well notice this is my 310th video; this was VERY intentional!!

I will conclude this look at surely the best 'Valenta'-engined Power Car in existance (the ex-MML ones, and those with GC & Network Rail are officially 'dogs') with a quote from Kiyran Burke of SEG:
"43310: coming to a station near you" [and boy, can't we wait!!]

EDIT: Contrary to the credits, thanks and apologies to Kiyran Burke for the picture of 43238 at Northallerton, which precedes the video of said train at said location, which is actually mine!!

Nice vid. A truly Hellfire powercar, rest in peace. Still 43310 is gd, i rode the beast from leeds to edinbrugh and back later that day :D. Fantastic vid 5* and faved. btw, whats that noise at 1:28?

[89001avocet]

Thanks!! 43310 is seriously nice...that noise, accompanied by 'Inspector Sands' basically means that a fire-alarm has been activated in a 'public' area of the station, so will a member of staff check it out before everyone is evacuated

I dunno...the livery's not that bad, it's just boring, but the name has brought the ECML into disrepute :(
