It was 68002 that ran from wembley to stourbridge and return .
It came up for noise testing.
The 68s have a very deep base sound very similar to a GE dash 9 when pulling away , i filmed the 68 arriving at the station and i was there over at the rear on the car park next to the houses filming with video cam ( which i will upload soon on youtube ) ,and i think the people who moan now are not going like the 68s with there deep base /rumble sound they make !
The 68 revved its engine several times for the tests and also ran up & down the depot siding ,all the time staff monitoring the noise levels with microphones .
It has Very nice sound though , from railfans point of view that is
