Grids go past my place in Shrewsbury some evenings about 22:00 on the logs to Chirk. Look forward to it every day! 😊

A familiar sound on MGRs having lived all my life in the mining area of North Derbys. You don't appreciate them until they're gone, thank heavens there are a few still running with Colas.

Gridirons on thrash. Never matched. Fabulous upload. Used to go to my local line at night at about 10 to 11, even in the freezing cold and wet to watch them on MGRs coming through. The still of a frosty night, then the thumping of the gridiron climbing the railway incline. Nothing like it.

Top-shelf stuff. Grids at full cry are a aural tour-de-force to a almost overwhelming degree: that bassy, earth-shaking, thumping/throbbing of the engine proper (which betrays the English Electric heritage of the Ruston-Paxman lump) which slowly gives way to the screaming turbocharger as the loco draws nearer. Both combine to form perhaps one of the best-sounding diesels this country has ever produced. In my oh-so humble opinion ofc. ;)

I worked on the 56's pulling MGR's - pit to power station all around Doncaster. At the time they were quite new and what was known as 56 sqn was formed by drivers only working on those power units. Awesome sound and powerful beasts.

Simply magnificent! My favourite clip is of 56041 restarting its bitumen train from a stand at Chipping Sodbury…but I can rewatch every clip of every video in this series of yours over and over..! I guess that makes me a bit of a 56 fanatic…! Thank you so much for capturing all this wonderful footage which is an important slice of our railway history.

Glad you enjoyed , I love 56s because of the superb sound they make. 60s are a good British design but do nothing for me as they are so silenced.

That first shot brought back some memories. Cawoods containers carrying Coal. We used to get them coming into Liverpool docks by Rail, usually with a class 56 or a 37. They then used to go on a Boat to Belfast Docks. Happy days.

Except the first 30 were built in Romania and were trash, they needed rewiring and other amendments due to the poor work making them behind the then iron curtain. 56031 to 135 were built at Doncaster & Crewe

One of these beasts went through Bodmin Parkway when I was a kid and I was both scared and mesmerized as it approached shaking the windows in the cafe with that engine bassline. Can't remember if it was a china clay working or not it was around 2006. Either way these grids are proper powerhouses and its a shame their numbers diminished so badly.
