Having experienced countless 390's speed past one thing that's prominent is the noise, presumably from the wheel-rail interface compared to say a desiro or voyager, as it passes ? Anyone else noticed this. Any reasons as to why this is ? Jesse

Hi all Saw a LM Desiro rush into Bletchley today at what must have been about 30 - 40 mph, not braking until half way along the platform and it got me wondering how good the brakes are on trains these days. Which has the best for their class ? Thanks Jesse

Recently travelled on my 8th pendo From MKC-EUS, and the ride was excellent over points, accelaration is amazing for a high speed train. Overall There excellent well suited units. Infact I get ****ed when my mum makes us take a LM 350 just because it leaves earlier. :evil:

Does It make a certain noise as it passes ? Thanks Jesse

German Turaus Locomotives are amazing http://youtu.be/ywwXOeVRQOA

The 09 Tube Stock sounds wonderful too :D

I find the eerie whine from Pendos when they accelerate intresting. Skip to 1.22 for the Pendo departing :D http://youtu.be/GUxpgRObm8Y

Which train in your opinion has the best traction sound EMU and DMU/DEMU Or Tube stock? --- old post above --- --- new post below --- For me EMU - 350/390 DMU - 221,220 Tube Stock - 09TS

On the subject of tube stock im pretty sure the 09 stock would kill everything else on acceleration, its scary how quick they get up to speed :)
