Any footage of a Class 457 running?

Like the title says is there any footage of a Class 457, preferably with sound in existence? I'm very interested to hear the brush traction equipment.

The idea reminds me of the running footage of the 1986 tube stock sounding very similar to the 1992 tube stock and just wanted to see if anyone knew of any more footage of those units as well.

Yes, rebuilt from the former Class 210 DTSOs (which became DMSOs) and two former Class 210 TSOs. It was numbered (45)7001.

I can confirm there is some footage on youtube. I did see a video of this arriving at Eastleigh (i think). I also saw in another video one of the 457 carraiges inserted into a 455 (before the plug door trials). This was in some early 90s footage. The 457 is at the east kent and work is still be carried out on it. At present the floor is up in the interior. I will put more info in this thread - https://www.railforums.co.uk/thread...ss-457-spondon-and-ruston-165de-mazda.249284/

Found the footage of the 457 arriving in eastleigh too, around 2:10 -

Found the footage with the 457 carriage in a 455, its just after 3.00 -
