Nice I never seen a class 07 shunter yet! I've seen a 03 at barrow in the early 1990s nice video of these powerful tiny little locomotives 😎

I love those british shunters, they are so many of them, my favorite is (and I don't know why) the D2587(hunslet class 05 shunters).
Cheers from France!

[@philclarke3203]

Me too! As you say, there was such a variety! I love the class 05s too, maybe plenty visibility from the cab?

[@lufon1582]

@@philclarke3203 yes they have a proper cab but also love the general look and I think they make a really good throaty noise when accelerating even tho the motor can be find in other shunters.

@@philclarke3203 Must have a been aa bit of a struggle in BR days for any portly driver trying to get in the cab (of the 05) !!

I love how they're called "HST" :D A lovely variety of engines, small locos are so often the most interesting.

[@philclarke3203]

Haha, when I first saw HST on their jackets. I was looking for High Speed Trains.There were so many different types and classes of these small shunters, fascinating??

Merci Jean -Claude, et toi aussi.

[@tom-dahl1598]

its interesting to hear the different engine note of the rustons compared to the barclay

[@philclarke3203]

Yes, alot of engines have thier own unique sounds. I spent 30 years driving tractors and you could identify them by their sounds too.
