And the 114s.Ah, yes, the Albion 230hp one. I think 115s had them too.
That Class 17's Paxman engines sound similar to those fitted to HST's when new
Never mind two engines and 72 pistons - I once was treated to four engines and 144 pistons in Gasworks Tunnel when two of them left Kings Cross together - me at the first droplight behind No 9, with No 19 right alongside, both struggling with heavy overnight trains and wet rails.Deltic for me. One of my favourite ever railway memories will always be a Deltic out of the Liverpool Lime Street cutting.
I also like 37's, 50's, Valenta HST's, 20's and 26's.
Looking at those videos, I need to find myself a class 17!
