Many years ago as a child visiting London, I would use my dictating machine to record the audio sounds of the C69/C77s. Following the farewell tours, I managed to dig out the old cassettes and they're now on YouTube for all to listen to.
These were taken in the late 1980s, prior to refurbishment when they made a decent noise which would vibrate through the floor: www.youtube.com/channel/UCkYGpFNYQZpddxxrBgdH1nQ/feed
Shots taken from the recent farewell tours can be found here: www.flickr.com/photos/1v96/
Enjoy

Good memories!
The pre-refurb motors sounded great!
The Rheo brake could certainly scream.
You could also hear the difference between a '69 and '77 by the sound of the door closing valve.

Brilliant Audio - I hadn't really thought about how subdued a post-refurb C stock sounded.

why did the unrefurbished C stock sound louder and more like it was doing a spin-cycle
