Interesting that the krupps dont have the "chimney" extensions like the originals. The exhaust used to do a 90 and run along the long bonnet and over the" buffer" beam. They used to run through the tunnel with a "scrubber" wagon coupled between a pair of locos . The engine exhaust used to run through a water bath and activated charcoal in the wagon , so as not to pollute the tunnel. They used to pull the night time works trains.
Legendary, rare, and lucky! 🤩 Shame I couldn't see them ☹️ Atleast I know where they're secretly stored now at Singwell with the HS1 MPV's 😏 Nice to see an Ex-Eurostar 73 still in Preservation! 😄
Visited about ten years ago. We got seats directly behind 2nd mans position waiting to return from Shepherdswell had video cam ready. Stone me an employee or volunteer with a woman and child park themselves in the cab. So I asked the man politely if the two passengers could move into public seating as I wanted to film the journey. He declined and that basically spoiled the visit for us😠
@@siccodierdorp6947 Actually the class 500/600NS are based on the BR class 11, an earlier version of the 3 axle EE shunter, the visual difference is in the cab roof. The 600 or class 11 have roofs with a continuous curve, the roof on an 08 has a distinct kink in the radius.
EKR appears to have changed quite alot since I was a volunteer there 10+ years ago.

Great catch very rare
What’s all that gubbins on the noses of the 73, please?
Specialist coupling for Eurostars.
@@22pcirish What do the circles even do? I've seen them on a 37 and the 92's but never known what they did.
@@progenlol They were meant to represent a slice of the tunnel receding into the distance.
Those Are Ex Dutch 6400 Series from my country
En heb je die Sik niet zien staan ?
@@pietjebell verhip idd pietje
Actually these two are purpose built ones, from 0006 up are ex NS 6400s
Those are pretty common around Germany especially freight yards
Locomotive Brett is a former Dutch Shunter Class600 ( Serie 600). From NS Netherlands railways
??? No, it's a 'Sik' 200/300, 600's are 3-axle shunters, they know them very well in the UK as class 08
