Grumpy Diesel- sounds like a character from a Thomas the Tank Engine adventure, also sometimes called Bardotka (Brigitte Bardot) because railwaymen likened the front profile of the locomotive to Brigitte-s shapely curves. Zamra-en- (Scowl, Grumpy) came about because it was said the loco looked to be scowling from the front view. The Class 749 Bo Bo diesel electric locomotives were built by -KD as Class 751 between 1964 and 1971, becoming Class 749 as a result of being rebuilt with electric train heating in place of steam between 1992 and 1996. Rated at 1, 103 kilowatts (1, 479 hp) with a top speed of 100 kph (62 mph) most of the fleet have now been rendered redundant by electrification with the remaining examples transferring to -D Cargo and various private freight operators around the network. No. 749. 254-9 coupled to two veteran carriages starts our adventure at Brno hlavn- n-dra (Brno Main Railway Station, a busy rail hub serving both national and international trains and finishes up at the end of a disused freight line. This trip includes rear facing, cab and line-side views of this fascinating odyssey

Nice one, Tim! Had a buffer underrun while watching so had to back up and watch a portion again to allow my computer to catch up. You shot this on 14th February this year, you were lucky to get home as the Corona Virus was starting to take hold in Britain around that time.

Tim do you ever have much trouble getting permission from the train guard letting you put your go pro on the back of trains i hear some railways wont let you do it. Also how do you protect your go pro from theft while filming while unguarded.

Thank you for posting this. I miss my home very much. The trains and trams and the beautiful cities and countryside. I felt FREE for the first time in my life living in the Czech Republic. Free.
