  • horsepower at rail - class 56 = 3250. class 66 = 3000. Top speed - class 56 = 80mph. class 66 = 75mph.

    Sight and sound. Class 56 = Brilliant. Class 66 = crap.

  • Class 56's are far more interesting than Class 66's - that's what matters. 66's are so boring in every way, the Class 56's have character.

see all

  • Proper freight locos.

  • @tmayco Unfortunately you mixed up some data.

    Class 66 gets 3000 hp to the rail, the engine has 3300.

    The 56 had a 3250 hp engine but only got 2400 to the rail.

    Also, the 66 has more traction than the 56 - up to 408 kN during launch compared to 275 kN, continuous 260 kN vs 240 kN.

    I totally agree with you about the looks though.

  • See that V shaped exhaust cloud at 1:25, thats his Professional Driving policy in full swing.

  • None of the original batch of 56's from Electroputere survived?

    Amazingly Electroputere still mention the 56's they made on their Web site.

    A little susprising, given that BR had problems with them.

  • A proper locomotive!

  • brilliant footage

  • Awesome

  • @tmayco That's progress.............apparentl­y!

  • Awesome Grid Action!!

  • Before the days of that big ugly footbridge??
