An EMT HST-set, entirely in the old MML livery, departs Leeds for Neville Hill depot, powered by 43045 and 43046, the latter a 'Valenta'-fitted example.

A decent look at 43110 over the past few years of her life, showing her in/around the local area and the variety of other power cars she's been coupled to during this time.
Looking back we see her coupled to:
- 43038,
- 43051,
- 43096,
- 43108,
- 43111,
- 43115,
- 43238,
- 43296,
- 43300,
most of which are now MTU-fitted themselves; indeed some appear in that list in both 'formats'.
Sincere thanks to anyone and everyone who donated any material, be it pictures or videos, to this good cause; I hope no offence is taken by choosing only to use my own pictures & videos; I did never realise how much material I myself had.
The observant amongst you may well notice this is my 310th video; this was VERY intentional!!
I will conclude this look at surely the best 'Valenta'-engined Power Car in existance (the ex-MML ones, and those with GC & Network Rail are officially 'dogs') with a quote from Kiyran Burke of SEG:
"43310: coming to a station near you" [and boy, can't we wait!!]

Apologies for the wind-noise folks; I didn't quite realise how strong it was!!
