One of my favourite diesel classes is the English Electric type 1 (class 20). 228 of these locos were built between 1957 and 1968, after the initial batch had been completed, more were ordered due to the failure of other type 1 diesels, particularly the Clayton type 1 which did not live up the expectations. Early builds had disk head codes, later versions had 4-character headcode boxes.
Surprisingly, this 60-year old design can still be found running on the main line on duties such as rail-head cleaning and they are distinctive by the whistle sound from the turbo-charger, a sound which they shared with their larger brothers, the class 40's.
The video starts with some scenes at Barrow Hill Roundhouse of class 20's stored, probably awaiting the next season of rail-head cleaning duties. Preserved locos are then seen on the Great Central Railway and the North Yorkshire Moors Railway and the video finishes with some shots of a rail-head treatment train in North Nottinghamshire and South Yorkshire.
