Even though I'm more a 37 fan, in these days of endless ying ying this sound is glorious. If only they could invent smell-o-vision it would be complete. I remember pairs of these on the Rylstone quarry runs. Highly entertaining, if only preserved railways could allow thrash to go on longer. Thrash 👍 , 25mph 👎
37 fan here too, hence the channel name. The Class 25s are my second favourite traction though. It is possible to get some considerable thrash behind these Type 2s at other railways since doing headsout is banned on mainline these days - ELR is uphill 1 in 85 to Heywood is approx 7 mins of solid thrash (see my video behind 25035), and the NYMR Grosmont to Goathland is 1 in 49, around 9 mins (25278). Agree with you about the ying ying sound, cant stand 66s, and have no interest in them. Thanks for the comment.
@@37427 It's funny how sometimes the smaller engines are more fun, 25 better than 33, 37 better than 40, hymek better than western. That said, any heritage over the US imports !
