I know there must be an existing thread for the class 68 but I cannot find one, so please merge if necessary.
Are these locomotives heavier than most, or just more clattery on the track. A pair visited Heysham today and they were the loudest thing I've heard pass on the line, except for the tamper that visits every few years in the small hours. This is first time I've seen these things up close, and of the types I've seen use the line (20, 33, 37, 57, 66, 67), these are the only ones that seemed to hammer the rails.
