- THE LAST WARSHIPS - A TRIBUTE TO THE CLASS 42 'WARSHIPS' DIESEL-HYDRAULICS. In this programme we look at the last two 'Warship' diesel-hydraulics to survive in preservation, D821 Greyhound and D832 Onslaught. We will see 'Warships' double-heading and with Class 25, 35 Hymeks and Class 47s as well as seeing them in action over the length and breadth of the country including on the West Somerset Railway, Swanage Railway and Ecclesbourne Railway. #Class42 #Warships #DieselHydraulic
Aw Pinchy, I hate it when you do that 😂😂
Super
fantasic Sound
Great locos and interesting explanations about it ! Nice that some hydraulics are still operating in the UK. They are also the most visually appealing diesel locomotives in my opinion. They remind me of the legendary Bundesbahn V200. Here it is stated that original MAN and Maybach engines were installed in the locomotives, but engines were also manufactured under license from English manufacturers ?! Best regards from south Germany
They are based on the Bundesbahn V200 actually.
@@taublix315yes they are
Just scaled down to fit the British loading gauge and altered in other ways aswell

Amazing! Very nice video! Greetings 🚂💨😍👍👋
Thank you sir for this wonderful video. BTW am I the only viewer who is annoyed by the SLR cameras, whose noisy mirror mechanisms has ruined the soundtracks of many railroad videos? Thank goodness their days are almost over.
The Warships were Incredibly powerful locos for their size. Just look at the comparative specification for a type 40 loco!
But still nothing compared to the larger american engines
Did Warships ever run in Maroon livery with full yellow ends, smaller panel looks way better.
Saw them all apart from two of the original 600 series. Great shame about Glory which was mistakenly cut up at Swindon after being marked for preservation.
Absolutely, D818 was such a travesty.
Horrifying!
No one bought Glory.
This video epitomizes a maritime people's amazing love for ships on wheels. But many a German landlubber like me brood over the meaning of the large numbers on both ends of the engine. Throughout the movie I vainly tried to figure out what they might denote. Here are some of my guesses:
- the number of the train being hauled
- a roster number of the engine
- the engineer's birtday in hexadecimal
- the nickname of the engineer's bride encrypted in Bletchley park
- same thing put through an ENIGMA
Looks like this thing is above me :(
It's the "headcode" of the service the loco is pulling. The first character is the importance of the train. The second is the region of destination. The last two identifies the individual service.
@@jimmillington8299 Thank you sir for this explanation. Now I can die in peace.
Hi I absolutely love the Class 42/3 Warship especially D824 "HIGHFLYER" I don't know if D824 "HIGHFLYER" survived into preservation or not but either I love Class 42 Warship
No Highflyer was scrapped
D824 did not survive. D821 “Greyhound” and D832 “Onslaught” are the two survivors. D818 “Glory” was kept around at Swindon Works until 1985 when it was scrapped
I just have to ask, are these worship still in action today or is this just footage of the past???
Nope, D821 “Greyhound” is still running on the Severn Valley and D832 the East Lancs.
They certainly resemble their German ancestors…
Those trains look like Diesel.
It’s ashamed that D829 Magpie and D818 Glory are not in preservation because the preservation team didn’t have any chance of preserving them
