Thanks in advance.
There is a separate whining sound, I believe that this is from the traction motors not the diesel engine. On an 88 the whine is exactly the same on electric power only.
Despite this they have to be the most impressive sounding modern locos. I've just heard one that passes my house daily about...
A couple of points on your post, 26025 was D5325 which is the loco at Strathspey. D5335 was 26035 and this one is at Brechin.
All class 26s had windows in the doors from new, this continued up until early BR blue days as seen in this photo (not mine)...
With pre-planning drivers and trains would have been available, that's my point. Drivers, trains and crews were all available for the golf specials run by these spare trains in the past.

No, for instance the two Fife Circle loco hauled trains stood idle when they could have been used with a bit of pre planning. It's all been done before for the golf and been highly successful.
Not sure about the Freightliner 70s but the Colas 70s suffer from this issue awaiting spares from GE. 70801 and 70803 were out of traffic for about a year each. 70808 is currently out of traffic with a status M awaiting materials, this one has been out of service for well over a year now.
When I passed on 22 July there were 10 stored 70s, in order from the Woodlesford end-
70004 70001 70014 70011 70019 70009 70017 70018 70016 70013
I videoed this on my phone and in freeze frame each number is legible but sometimes a little difficult to make out because of the palisade fence in front!
Could anyone advise on the correct headcode for 47593 today please seen passing woodlesford at 1448 light engine on this:

Bumping this post from 3 July, I've found the 397 code 3q52 but am still looking for 47830s official working, a pic on flickr suggests it was taking the wagons to Crewe electric for tyre turning?
I'd be grateful for details of the following workings at Crewe today please:
Headcode of class 397 (car numbers 471001 475001, is this 397001?) on 1058 Carlisle- Crewe cs
Booked departure time origin and destination of 47830 on 8t46 network rail wagons heading northbound
