Bestial. Thanks for sharing!

098 looks fantastic. If it goes as good as it looks we will have 56s for years to come.

Yo7 r right it looks fantastic, although sadly I believe 098s future is uncertain last year in January it did a farewell tour because GBRF said they were converting it and also 56081 into a class 69, although nothing has happened to 098 yet it has been announced that 56081 is being stripped for spare parts!

Work of Art !

The 56 is a beauty

Yes I think they do, I’m sure I saw a post somewhere saying they were also hiring a Freightliner class 70

Love it that it’s 49 and 98! 2x49=98 - brilliant

@@stephenbrass1808 Atleast you catch it, 56098 is only hired until Friday so will is a very rare sight! I will look forward to seeing a vid if you get a chance to make it in the future, really enjoy your videos, especially the ones not filmed in stations because I don’t often get a chance to film out of stations.

the rail inspection train is rated at 125 per hour, not 125 feet per minute.

Class 56's suffer from being geared for 80mph which is not really suitable for heavy freight, better suited to Freightliner traffic. When Foster Yeoman entered into a new contract with Railfreight in 1985 they sought to have 6 dedicated class 56's for the traffic out of Merehead supplied by Cardiff Canton, within the first week of the contract 34 different 56's where noted at Merehead & therein starts the class 59 story & GM EMD takeover. GM initially slated to supply 6 class 59's , Foster Yeomans told by GM they'll only need 4. 1 59 doing the work of a pair of 56's hauling 46 102 tonne PTA wagons Hence BR's order for class 60's & then the subsequent 66's , the 60's more than matching the 59's on the haulage front & the 59's tractive effort record being only beaten by the GE class 70's. The 56's are good locos but not good enough. I guess they use 2 as cover & to cope with the rigour of the S & C.

Do you have any idea how long 098 will be on hire?
