Class 171 departs Hampden Park (Fans) - 5/6/2023
In this video 171811 departs Hampden Park with Coolant Fans!
Working 2D47 Ashford Int’l - Eastbourne!
Usually the loud coolant fans turn on because of something in the air filter (I think that’s the part) which makes the engine get quite hot causing the fans to come on to cool it down! Here we see a magnificent departure with fans in 56803 (middle carriage) due to leaves in the air filter!
