A new form of diesel traction in the far west as DRS Class 68 Vosslohs 68016 Fearless TnT 68017 Hornet worked the 'Northern Belle' to Par and back (with the stock running ECS to Penzance).

68025 Superb
The Severn Valley Railway Diesel Gala held over 19th - 21st May 2016 witnessed the visit, possibly first visit, of brand new Class 68 68025 Superb, and here we see the 16 cylinder 3800hp Vossloh Eurolight in action over the length of the line. I really like these incredible diesels - never was a diesel more aptly named: Superb.
