40 173 thrashes up Grosvenor Bank on 'The Whistler' railtour
This illustrates perfectly the allure of first generation diesels (of which sister D200 was arguably one of the first) with loud aural appeal and some serious exhaust under heavy load. In this case the Haymarket Forty is barking up the short but sharp gradient out of London Victoria to Grosvenor Bridge over the River Thames on a very cold and crisp winter morning.
Battersea Power Station was still hard at work at the time as can be seen by the steam emanating from it.
Look at all those heads out of the windows soaking up the sounds.
