Thanks for your kind comment Rob, can't believe it was over 20 years ago!

I can remember as a 5 year old back then in 2002 I see class 47s on a loco hauled cross country services before they got replaced by the voyagers

Best sounding for me is the Deltic, Whistler's and the 47's.Nice to reminisce, great vid.

Thanks for adding this. I remember this summer fondly. I think I saw all the special Virgin 47s that year. Cheers.

Opinions: Having spent more miles behind a Brush Type Four than I could realistically recall, listening to them in these videos doesn't sound the same. I appreciate the age of the equipment.

Didn’t know that 47 could pull MK3 coaches with DVT on the rear don’t they require 3phase power to run AC units thought only Class 43 or 91 could provide this ?
