The title say's it all, an hours worth of Valenta HST screaming action. A collection of First Great Western, Intercity and Virgin Cross Country sets filmed from the early 1990's to around 2007/08 when Class 43's were starting to be re-engined with MTU engines. Nostolgia at it's finest as many of these sets are now making their way to various scrap yards around the country as no further use for many of these sets can be seen due to the ageing nature of the rolling stock. Designed and built by British Rail in the 1970's the High Speed Trains (HST's) or most noteably known as the Intercity 125 are seen as the saviour of the railways in Britian, and hold the fastest ever diesel train record. This collection focuses on those with the Paxman Valenta 2250hp engine, which certainly made many enthusiasts turn their heads and fall in love with what is a fantastic train. All of these shot's are in the West and North West of England and Wales, whereas many other operators ran Valenta sets, along with all the opertators that do today with their new engines and upgraded stock to keep up to regulations.
