How much power would you estimate that train was producing? If I remember correctly can’t diesel-electric locomotives put out one or two megawatts!

  Looks like an old Deltic - so about 2.4MW max: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Rail_Class_55 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Rail_Class_55 NB The Deltic engines were pretty interesting: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napier_Deltic https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napier_Deltic

    No, as the voiceover says, it was a much less powerful Class 46 (46009). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Rail_Class_46 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Rail_Class_46
