Description
Part of the SVR gala Class 88 running only the two week days, is seen on its first run on the line in diesel mode. As can be heard, it isn't exactly loud espically compared to its sister loco the Class 68, this was a bit of a dissapointment for me. Even though it did look fantastic on this rake and the Class 50 thrashed a bit too.. More footage of the gala to follow friday!
