Something new for 2023...Sound & Vision on SoundCloud - more memories from a mis-spent youth 😎, During the summer of 1987, I spent a week chasing after Class 50s, known by many enthusiasts as 'Hoovers', in the south-west of England. I made a number of tape recordings at the time, mostly from the front window, with my trusty ghetto-blaster in hand - and now these recordings can finally be heard :), , In this photo, we 'feel the breeze' hanging out of the front window behind 50014 'Warspite' in the morning sunshine - after departing Teignmouth and skirting the Devon coast with 2C40 all stations Plymouth-Exeter. New for 2023 - you can experience the audio magic of a Class 50 at 'full throttle' - follow this link soundcloud.com/sound-vision-10193594/50014-2c40-teignmout... to hear 50014 'Warspite' in action on 2C40 storming out of Teignmouth, leaving Dawlish Warren, and after arrival at Exeter St. David's, departing light engine. 50004 and 50038 also appear on this recording , , and for more Sounds of the 80s go here: soundcloud.com/sound-vision-10193594, , 50014 'Warspite' was one of the earliest casualties, succumbing in December 1987 - only the third member of the class to be withdrawn after 50011 'Centurion', and 50006 'Neptune' - RIP., , Locomotive History, D414 entered service 27-Apr-68, Renumbered 50014 in 1974, Named 'Resolution' 30-May-78, Withdrawn 14-Dec-87, Cut up at Vic berry's, Leicester, , 'A day in the life' - log book update: , Tuesday 4th August 1987 - 50014on 2C40 Plymouth-Exeter St. Davids, , NEWTON ABBOT, Teignmouth (Taped), Dawlish, Dawlish Warren (Taped), Starcross, Exeter St. Thomas, EXETR ST.
