The 100mph Class 68 for new Transpennine locomotive hauled services. Built by Staedler 2015-17. Powered by a 3,800 horsepower Caterpillar C175-16 prime mover, giving power to 4 frame mounted ABB traction motors, producing 71,000lbf of tractive effort.
They are winning a reputation amongst people local to their servicing depots for excessive noise, surely unnecessary in the 21st century. Now out of service with TPE - the noise was too much as was expecting everyone working for TPE to be skilled in three very different sets of rolling stock.
