On Thursday 9th April 50026 was started outside the factory at the now closed Old Oak Common for the first time since being withdrawn from service 18 years earlier . At around 2.40 minutes the loco shuts down with low coolant as the last of the remaining air is cleared through the system. The header tank is then topped up and the loco is re started and run for several minutes.
Stuff still to do but a big, big step in the restoration of the loco..........
Farewell Old Oak Common

As a Shunter at Pz, we dealt with every Class 50. These Locos regularly covered 1000 miles in 24 hrs. Penzance to Padd, Padd to Swansea, Swansea to Birmingham, then back to Padd, then the last train to Penzance, arriving around 23.30.

Fanatastic to see a 50 coming back to life - and on my brithday too!

The 50s in large-logo livery are one of the best looking loco classes ever along with the Westerns too.

Bloody hell 18 years! Certainly incredible to see this 50 beauty back to life after so long out of the air!

@rebeltruckeruk 15 лет назад

Having seen the state of this first hand when you bought it, I never thought for one minute you would actually pull this off. Hats off to you....its gonna be the danglies when its finished.

Bloody good show! I love 50's, always have. I have some sketchy memories of seeing them on the lines, but they're not so vivid as I'm only 25. I do love that sound though and I'd love to see one in the flesh, as it were. Good work on this folks, keep 'er lit!

@cov73 15 лет назад

Great to see 26 running again.Cant wait for it to go back on the mainline.

Quality! I've waited 18 years to see this moment! Well done to all involved!

@glitch1971 15 лет назад

Well done to all involved, you should be proud. Looking forward to seeing it out and about.

@47606odin 15 лет назад

well done though chaps. first class restoration job. it is a shame more preserved locos are not able to receive this level of restoration, especially those in the national collection

@hv53kma 15 лет назад

A bit of an effort to start it, but well worth it. What a piece of work, well done - great to see it on youtube.

My favorite class of diesel in the UK. Remember fondly them blasting out of Woking in quadraphonic!

@GRIDMASTER6 15 лет назад

All the plugs open for the first turnover to allow the fuel through into the cylinders.One plug was not in enough on B6 on the second start as you can hear on the video clip.

@formidable38 15 лет назад

Fantastic news, well done Mr S and all the other guys involved!

@steamwally 14 лет назад

Fantastic! Great sound too!

@nobby3265 7 лет назад

I love this BR large logo. What you'll get nowadays is a plain bland white livery on most rolling stocks.

@wattass7 14 лет назад

@PESTinUK totally agree there was nothing better looking and awsome sounding than the deltic i wish they were still growling up and down the mainline i saw 55022 on the 31st and it was a case of ye dont know what youve got untill its gone get all the diesels back espesiallythe DELTIC

@Bevoin1970 15 лет назад

On the upside, we have massive warehouses everywhere literally, and more supermarkets than you can shake a stick at in every town in the land...... England has now become one bloody big distribution & supermarket mecca. I echo your sentiments friend.

@northumbriarail 15 лет назад

Well done! Great to see her running again. Looking forward to a mainline railtour one day?

@heyrodders 15 лет назад

@AdrianWilsonBridders1234 15 лет назад

I want to see these at Exeter St Davids and Penzance again

@DugmerJunction 13 лет назад

Nice Video! if you like class 50's you should take a look at British Railways - Class 50 on facebook where you can upload your own videos and share your own pictures.... in the future we can also look at providing upto date news on the last remain class members, lets build a class 50 community

@tpvalley 13 лет назад

the smoke is a cunning design, it was to make the steam engine drivers feel more at home.........yes I am joking before anyone corrects me.

@railandmodel 15 лет назад

Awesome, well done lads.That's a thought, wonder if Zontar Deltic was in that 50 with his radweld?? :-) cheers & 5*

@Trainbuff2008 14 лет назад

(Responding to comments left at the Bottom) Thats why i no longer spot trains they all look the same in that dull EWS livery nothing really worth waiting for at the trackside now. Cant wait to have a closer look at a 50 they were all getting withdrawn when i was old enough to go riding around on the network.

@berwickspotter 15 лет назад

@FM60260 12 лет назад

Is that the battery box smoking underneath?

@Sackbladder 14 лет назад

@jango1968 I believe it's closer to a 40.

@cascao31 12 лет назад

Hi there. I'm sorry for asking but is there a V16 engine. I've read somewhere that the 1800 class from Portugal that have withdrawn in 1999, had a v16 engine. Greetings from Portugal and I'm sorry but I don't speak English too good.
