Everything about the Class 50 just shouts "Muscle"

Them 50s really put on a show

Great video! I wish I had been a bit older and travelled about more to see the 50’s in action … but great to see videos such as this as it’s the next best thing! Many thanks for uploading 👍

@@d412video2 most welcome I recall in around the late 90s D400 visiting at a open day at thornaby depot on teeside apparently it came down to teeside under it's own power and around 2006 I think there abouts or perhaps 2008 D400 also passed northbound through Darlington county Durham on a railtour it' was on the rear and D9000 Royal Scots Grey was on the front I can't recall the railtour perhaps it was a empty stock working

Wow. A rare sighting of 50149. The only video footage I’ve ever seen. Do you have any more? 👍🏻

Having seen in the video the two Class 50 locos at Glasgow Central, I wonder if they actually were paired in service before the West Coast Main Line was electrified.....

Yep & in fine form!

That was some impressive clag from the HST powering up leaving Exeter! Interesting that both power cars of the HST were under power, so perhaps an AWS problem. Impressive power to weight ratio there.

Cheers. Yes, both power cars working, suggesting something else, although 50031 still putting a good contribution in nonetheless!

Probably not AWS as you could legally isolate and continue in passenger service. (Until Southall accident happened and it became an automatic ‘failure’.)
