British Rail 58023 running under own power - Leicester LIP Depot - 30/03/21 

It Lives! Finally an operational and moving class 58!

Brilliant. I remember going to Doncaster works seeing the 58,s being built. Such lovely memories. They were not used to thier full potential, waste.

I used to watch them all the time in Worksop as a kid. I thought I'd never see one moving under its own power again - it almost brings a tear to my eye! Thanks for capturing this moment.

A rare loco in running order i ain't seen one move or in real life for decades! It must be 30 years since I last seen a class 58 in the flesh!!! I think I will have to take a trip upto barrow Hill soon!!! Good video of this bone in action 🥰😍🤩

what an incredible day you had that day seeing a class 58 moving around under it's own power lovely hopefully it'll be on the mainline one day keep safe

Always had a soft spot for "Dem Bones" I used to live in the Chesterfield-Worksop area and worked at Staveley Chemicals so got to see them regularly

I never knew what a class 58 sounded like until now because all the other videos are 20 years old

Awesome my favourite class moving not seen a 58 in operating for a long time 😀👍great video

Thanks for sharing this video of the lesser spotted Bonio great to see a bit of history working again

Great to see another slice of the past having another blast👍👍

I remember there being a 58 sat in the siding at Leicester for years. Never thought I'd see one running under its own power again, much less in those very sidings! Cool thing to witness, brings back memories of watching freight come through as a kid. :)

Nice to see the old 'un on the move again! Thanks for posting.

The bone lives once again!

Nice to see her moving under her own power, hopefully she will get around this year, nice video mate 👍🏻👍🏻

This is a great sight to see!

awesome mate! great to see it move under it's own power again!

This loco is going to the Severn Valley Railway for the first time ever even though some of the 58s were wiped out of service 21 years ago but 58023 and 5 others are the only survivors

Some good catches :)

So good to see a 58 again , I thought they weren't around anymore

Wow. I thought the 58’s had all gone for scrap or export.

23 is a busy little engine who lives at Leicester with his friends DC, Large Logo and DATS. One Tuesday his driver told him that they were going to do some training. ''But I know what to do'' exclaimed 23, ''I don't need training.'' His driver explained that it was the men that need training and that he was just needed to show them how. 23 felt very proud and bustled off with his smart blue paint. Unfortunately some of the other engines like to poke fun at him, sometimes they'd snigger and call him ''Boney''. which he didn't like and sometimes they would cough whenever he came near. 23 spoke with his driver: ''They're coughing at me, it's because of my smoky chimney.'' His driver told him not to worry about it and promised to take him for a run later on. When he pulled up, the men in their orange hi viz gathered 'round and told him they liked training with him and with a happy toot he bustled off ready to tell his friends all about it.

armstrong powerhouse are on there way

I cant remember the numbers exactly, but during my apprenticeship I worked on the build of the 58's and there is a chance I worked on 16 and 23

So they let the class move around on the Sidings

She still there? What she up to now?

Bring back British trains 😁

Arguably the ultimate 12CSVT, but sounds rather different. Looking forward to hearing 023 opened up properly one day.

Smokes like my old Landrover Discovery 😄

It looks like a freight corp 82 class

Truly fantastic to see one under its own steam agai though

That yard looks a little empty now lots of secret movements I guess enjoyed footage of the action🦺👍

Hopefully this will appear at a gala, make a change from 37s and 47s at every gala….

Brilliant to see a 58 Bone moving under it's own powering, how long has it been?

Brilliant footage 👍

I think engine runs on diesel oil like other diesels.. that are running on Black smoke engines 👍

3:13 is that the 56 with the missing cab?

nice to view. thank you

Wow a working 58

Nice one!

What a brilliant video uploaded to RU-vid. Nice to see a class 58 loco on the move again after so many years. I love the class 58 locos used to see loads through the Worksop area when I was younger. Do you by any chance know if 58016 will ever come back to life again? Would be nice, but at least 58023 has been given another chance in life again. 😀

They should have stopped the class 56 at 100, and built 50 more of class 58. British muscle. Whats happened to 58050? Is it still intact, and when is it coming home?

Isnt there another one in the background the white one last time I saw one was when I was about 12 it was pulling freight through Ashford so how many are rail worthy now?

Cheers for that

Nice video 📹 👍👍👍😎😎

@BrickishRail FINALLY SHE MOVES A LIVING CLASS 58023 abd im a new Subscriber to your channel

Does ANYONE know, how many 58's are still either, in service, or stored in such a manner that they 'could' go back into service, whether that's on a preserved line, or, like many locomotives now, back on frontline duties.?🤔?. Can ANYONE help me with this.?🤔?. These were MY favorite 'freight' loco's, and have wondered this for years now.! Thanks, in advance of any info given.!🥰🥰🥰!.

BR still has some Class 58s?

Dose this mean the 58s are back on mainline freight?

Excuse me for asking but what does L.I.P mean ? Thank you

What happened to the 56 in the background which is missing a cab?

Wouldn't it be nice if the same was done to the remaining 58s as what's being done to create the class 69s from ten old 56s; Class 71, anybody?

I thought they was all dead and buried

Driving from the wrong

Driving from the wrong end on a shed? Christ on a bike!

Those 58s look absolute shit!
