Not really, a 150 has identical bodywork and the exhaust stack is bolted on to the rear.
Well if you want more of these Frankenstine monsters, then tell grayling that electrification projects aren't need. That seems to work.I should have clarified. A novelty to see an exhaust stack on what i've always seen as an exclusively electric unit.

Considering testing generally starts from Swithland Yard, from my rough observation it looked to be doing about 25-30mph by Kinchley Lane cutting. I can't claim to be an expert on acceleration, but that's within about half a mile - is that any good?
I'd be surprised if that wasn't full throttle given the racket it was making. It looked like an acceleration test.
Unless they have a special exemption, they may be limited to 25 mph on a heritage railway.
The mags have had bumper few years of easy content but they all know things are going to get lean with fewer new NR projects and no relationships with certain new suppliers who can be bit secretive they need all the free content they can get so expect far more of it.
Can they offer 82.5mph testing to help expedite 75mph diesel approval, or must that all be done with NR?GCR can offer 75mph testing on a commercial basis.
The reasoning is the foot crossings at Quorn and Rothley both being on that southbound line - if the permanent way was completely separated they'd probably be allowed to do the full 75 on both tracks.
The foot crossings provide step free access from the car park (On the east side of the line in both instances) to the island platform at those stations.They only cross one track? Seems a little inconvenient.
Industry invite day is on Wednesday. Invitees will be viewing it in action as well as travelling on it.
Yeah, because they are obviously deliberately delaying the project....Come on Brush/Porterbrook get your fingers out.

Please get us some video of it in action.
No one said deliberately delaying! But they are certainly faffing about. How late now?.

Just so long as they don't do an APT job of it, and overdo the drinks...That explains the delay. They've been adding a buffet car for the gentlemen of the press.
Having watched the video of the 4MT at speed I have completely lost interest in the 769. Thanks for posting Mushromchow ...a real treat.
You can't just put an iPhone XS chip in an 80's Macintosh.Reports in Rail Engineer and The Railway Magazine both showed new control cubicles. I don't understand, why do trains still need large control cubicles when we can now hold powerful computers in our hands?
