Power Hour 7
 Like
its six predecessors in the Power Hour series, this programme features a
variety of main line diesel locos hard at work on the national rail
network - as well as a bonus shot from Hungary! A combination of full-on
power, stiff gradients and standing starts combine to produce some
spectacular scenes. And there’s no shortage of clag either. Filmed over
a six year period from 2012 to 2017, this DVD comprises a mix of old and
new main line traction and includes...
FREIGHT WORKINGS: Pairs of Riviera Class 47s powering GBRf’s Drax
gypsum trains, 56078 & 56105 storming Whiteball with timber for Chirk,
50007 blasting through Attenborough with the Boston steel,
Chiltern-liveried 68013 getting to grips with the Mountsorrel to Basford
Hall ballast, 60066 performing a standing start with the 3,000 tonne
Kingsbury tanks, pairs of Class 20s wide open on London Underground S
Stock moves, a defective 66616 clagging out Brocklesby, 70804 screaming
through Wellington hauling a loaded rail train, Class 56s hard at work
on the Willesden-Calvert spoil, 37688 wheel slipping away from Tyndrum
Upper...and 31601 & 31602 storming along the Severn estuary with a
lengthy rake of box wagons.
PASSENGER WORKINGS & RAILTOURS: DRS Class 37s on full power
working Greater Anglia’s Wherry Line services, 55022 tackling the climb
away from Glenfinnan with the ‘Royal Scotsman’, 20309 thrashing away
