@and321nowyou are probably right to be honest. I was at heaton Newcastle for about 5 years, most of my work was on 156s and 142 noding. Donkeys. Mostly bogie drops and brake relines . Sometimes Cummins engine swaps . We had 3 or 4 91 sets in each night,usually for safety service inspection, but I never really got to work on them .
wow, this is epic!!! the Class 91 is my favourite train!!!!!!!!! this is awesome, would love to visit Neville Hill or Bounds Green to see this all in person, the sounds, the smells! in 2018 I did a day with VTEC riding in the cab of a 91 it was amazing! would love to do something again on a 225 before they go
The auxiliary driving controls are still active, but give limited operational control for power and brake. They still work but aren’t used anymore. The accompanying Mk4 DVT has auxiliary driving controls also, but all have been disconnected.
This locomotive is arguably one of the most stunning pieces of mechanical and electrical engineering equipment ever built.

Really interesting, thank you for sharing. The 91s are my favourite locos so it was particularly interesting for me! 👍
Thanks for this. Really interesting - you clearly know your stuff! Such a shame we can’t / don’t want to make stuff like this anymore.

Brilliant video insight of the interior cab and electric equipment bay of the class 91😊
Well done, very well put together and explained, 😁
Glad you liked it!
Great video, definitely has a lot of distinctive sounds the 91
Nice Video Enjoyed that! 😊
Hi can the 91 be remotely shunted by the controls by the door I noticed 2 sets of controls 1 in each cab by the doors ?

Please keep these operational up to 2030.
