Class 31/4s Part one 31400-417 

I could listen to that all day! It genuinely feels like another lifetime ago. Really enjoyed this, thank you for Posting! Good to see Ex-NSE MK2's deposed from the Waterloo-Salisbury/Exeter services

Love class 31's. They used to be on the expresses out of Liverpool Street pulling 8/10 coaches. They stormed through Chadwell Heath where me and my mates were train spotting in the 1960's

Wonderful footage. Thanks for sharing.

Great shots of 411 Our Eli.... lovely old tank to drive, and at her best when smokey!

Thanks for this invaluable contribution of this pioneering loco. I have two HO scale models of their most beautiful colour schemes...Trainload Freight and BR Green.

I've always liked the sound and the look of the windshield of the Brush Class 31.... I grew up with them in BR Blue as a wee-lad at Kings Cross back in the day

Great selection, 411's a bit of a clag monster! Love the "fast" shots

Again, some fabulous footage! And a cameo appearance by Mr Rodgers at 6:25! Hellfire!

"New Gold Dreamer: Class 81 82 83 84 . . . . " Great vid 👌

good films i remember 31s on the portsmouth -cardiff trains in 70s did a good reliable job,31s have got a unfair reputation for being slow and underpowered but they outlived alot of other motive power because they were more reliable and better built.the best type 2 by along shot,brush built and english electric powered after rengining ,best combination .

Brings back a lot of memories from my 31 bashing days. Awesome stuff.

Fantastic stuff just how I remember them.

409 was one of my first Rugby 1989.

Saw some 31s at bescot depot when we passed it on the m62 when i were on school residential holiday to north wales.mind you saying that ive heard bescot is almost gone now.

It's amazing the stuff you find here. I grew up on 31/4s!

The replacement engines fitted were by English Electric, but the class 31 locos were Brush built.

Power Handle Productions... tremendous videos

One of the first diesels in large numbers introduced in 1957 I believe

Underrated locos

Cracking video. Thanks for sharing. 👍

31400 was shifting there in the opening shot!

411 was my favourite. Saw it with Finsbury stripe, without the Finsbury stripe and in Grey.

Great video, the sounds are amazing 👌

English Electric? Surely Brush type 2`s, well that`s what I know them as and what the builders plate says on the side.

Have you date for 31 417 leaving Manchester Victoria?

top draw sound quality

Not great on the eye but sound awesome
