- An afternoon down Basford hall shunting and messing about with locos
70007 and 70003 are here as usual #railway #train #freighttrain #trainspotting #railwayjourney #electriclocomotive #londonunderground #airbus
I knew that LU used trip cocks as a safety feature; but it was interesting to see how it was configured on a mainline loco to allow operation on the LU network. Another great video.
The LEDs do actually flash in real life, just faster than our eyes can tell so they appear on. It's how LEDs are dimmed. The camera's framerate is sometimes fast enough that it alternately sees the "on" or "off" states for the LED
walk the walk .talk the talk 2 great vids thanks brian
I find your videos fascinating Brian , my Grandad used to be a blacksmith/boilersmith turned mechanical engineer at Derby works between the 50's until he retired in 1990 and he told wonderful tales of the railways , his favourite diesel was the class 56 and said they were awkward to work on but the big V16 was a near perfect engine and they onced tweaked one to just over 4000 bhp at Derby back in the late 80's , sadly he has long passed away as Derby loco works mostly has , he would have liked the class 70 though.
Fascinating stuff. Suspect that football VAR people could take a lesson or two from the way shunting gròundstaff communicate with drivers 😂
I've always wanted to drive a frieght train
Loved the walk along the 66 Brian and the steering bogies for greater route availability. We are learning all the time👍
Thank you very much brian love it .
Magnificent catches of the train shunting in the yard, i like it 5 stars, keep up the great work, my friend, you earned a new subscriber, Greetings from Portugal to the UK
Really interesting video. Many thanks 👍
0:04 Ah, so real trains _do_ use magnets between the tracks to uncouple, after all!
Great video 😁
Your statement about the GE motor is historically correct because when the class 66 engines were purchased it was a GE motor but now the EMD division was actually purchased by Caterpillar.
hi Brian great videos i love all the info you do into them
how do you and others know how to move round the yard ?? and is there any chance you could video inside the shed ?? thanks for your great work
What the tick tick tick sound at 2:20, is it he exhaust or something cooling down?
Brian when is the two pipe system used,brake and main Res.
Hi Brian, I was filming at Crewe last week, I was looking north from south end of the platform, and up the line I thought I saw a few 90s coming through, I got all excited thinking i was going to film a pass, then they disappeared!
The same happened the previous week, I thought I'd seen a DB 66 on its way through, that vanished too!
Just looking on Google Earth, I've spotted a tunnel, that looks like it goes into Basford and beyond... Is that correct? Thanks. 👍🏻🚂
what happens when you break down on the mean line
around 12:22 walking past the bogie there's a long bar and some kind of chain attached to it, what's that for?
Do you think you could operate the Irish rail class 201 as they have the same GM EMD engine as the 66?
if i fill my truck up in uk it costs me £7600 to put in 2000 litres of diesel but i only fill up in spain as it costs less at £3800
So, here's a question then for you Brian. That 66 with the full tank 6000+ litres that's cost £6k to fuel. How far would that loco travel on that fuel load?
800-1000 miles on average
@@Traindriverbrian1 that's one massive monthly fuel bill FL get then for the fleet
1000 miles for £6,000, jesus, no wonder freight goes by road@@Traindriverbrian1
Are there any Class 08s in the yard?
What would happen if a shunter ( god forbid ) had an accident whilst speaking to the driver who is in the wrong cab for shunting that train, should a driver, drive from the cab in which the locomotive is moving,
A driver can’t be in the wrong cab because you can’t see where you’re going when shunting So you rely on the Shunters radio. Anytime communication is lost you stop instantly.
Where is the 90’s fuel road?
The class 90 use the over head wires
Anywhere where the knitting is
Near the coal yard lol
