I totally agree about the bank being a "black hole" though, and it's a shame that the link will ever exist, as I doubt even the mighty Palatine II could climb Sutton Bank!
Brrrrrrooooommmm, brrrrrrooooommmm, brrrrrrooooommmm!
Ok then:
Palatine 2 on bend:
Vroom, hiss, vrrrrroooommmmm(hiss), vroommm and next the top, a gear change
B9TL:
Sound of the Pulleys then a bang then a vroom
E400:
Juddering and slowly picking up pace. Don't try it with 7501 - 7513 though
B5TL:
The sound of running feet and aching of people trying to push the thing up!
