Loved the opening shots of the video, almost a small tribute to the passing of the baton from the old stalwart class 37 to the new kid on the block the class 68. May the class 68 see the same length of service or longer as it's predecessor. 👌👍 If you think individual engine's don't have quirks or feeling, you've never spoken to a train driver! 😉 Keep safe and thanks for the video.

Not really. The 68's have a distinctive sound - like a very low level throb/growl once they get going. The 37's may be louder but not as distinctive sounding.
Not a fan of these things. They sound meaningful, but the styling is by the dropped skip school of design, neither graceful nor functional, a locomotive should be one or the other. These are just plain old fashioned ugly.
Oh boy I love 68’s, especially the nova’s.
2 of the Best Diesel Locos in the country at the start!
Oh those TPE 68's look stunning! Nonetheless all of them are great. what a thumping bass sound!
One of very few locos where you can hear both the prime mover and the inverters do their thing.

They haul Mk1s, Mk2s, Mk3s, Mk4s and Mk5s! :)
correct
yes
my 2nd favourite loco
I love the throb of those 16 cylinders but it's a shame you can hear the whine of the ancilliary equipment.
Is it just me, or does the Class 68 kinda sound like an Alstom R160?
It’s got the same type of inverters so yup!
nice video 👍
Thank you 👍
The legend
Class 68 Hell as loud
Sound like class 37s
Not really. The 68's have a distinctive sound - like a very low level throb/growl once they get going. The 37's may be louder but not as distinctive sounding.
37s sound like tractors that's why they are called "tractor"

no
I thinks its one of the most pretty diesel locomotives I have ever seen (other than the TA-E6 though).
horrible locos, do not have the grunt of a class 50 or 37 ! welcome to 2020
