Engine power is amazing Great video - thanks
Very interesting! It's like someone pushed an EMD AAR stand on its back and made it a desktop control stand, complete with Bakelite throttle handle!
Oh my goodness. Didn’t realise they had trains in Ireland. How quaint.
Fantastic machine!
On this occasion it had been arranged before hand as part of the ITG's event at Downpatrick, you could still try your luck though, the staff can be agreeable.
Love the sound of that 567 power plant. GM had a winner with that one. We had a lot of engines here in the US with that prime mover as well. Some of that track towards the end of the video looks like you could put a train on the ground pretty easily. Hope they're working on that.
I miss the sound of the Baby GM's. I grew up beside the line in Shankill and watched work the commuters before electrification. Even after that they double headed the Wexford express. The sound of my childhood :)
Irony: watching a video of a train ride when riding the train.
Thanks guys
That must be what like the branch lines were back in the day
Wow! Never seen a GM throttle turned on its side and shoved into the dash like that!
@EWS60008 Maybe when 146 returns to service you can apply for a cab ride if the Downpatrick Railway restart that offer!
Great video lovely loco
I really ought to get over there and sample Mick rail
@Rocketboy1950 Thanks for the video share, that sure sounds very similar, and much louder! I wish they'd get a new life, as the small Irish GMs are effectively retired now.
what a great video, nice to see what driving is like over there! are these diesel electric?
Thanks Mike, yes it is a GM diesel electric locomotive.
great video
Love the sound of a 567!!
Love it.
very nice! interesting to watch
All I can say is "thats a great vid"
mighty stuff
Sounds just like the ones I used to drive. There was a bit of a rumour that some of your retired dogbones were coming over here for a new life.
Whats the bell? Is it a vigilance alarm?
@IrishRail123 Beyond the cutting I think(!)
@Leadplug How do you know it's not one of those mongrel things that sticks and needs to be handled with some force to prevent getting three when you only wanted one.....had that happen plenty of times.
The young fella driving is not used to driving these gms Another trick with these was to release the train brake and apply the loco brake just before the train came to a stop
Driver forgets to take off the locomotive brake at the beginning..
Hi I’m 28 and wanting to become a train driver, can anyone give me some helpful insight to how I go about this ?
Dose the yellow button really have a label "button" at 00:39
Nice one m8!
Thanks!
Just after the cutting, slippy track due to weeds.
why has he got a BR high vis?
Where are ( were) these built ??
General Motors at La Grange, Illinois, USA, in 1962.
triver bro Biting 😊😊😊😇😇😇😇😇
I wonder in which place they crashed it lol....
Wow I've never seen inside a cab only on my dad simulator pitted i m to you to drive :'(
for what is the ringing bell at 2:06?
Robert W. ... i believe it is the AWSA for the next signal.
No. Vigilance bell.
What's the constant clicking tik tok noise?
The speedometer
P
it needs more coal lol
Dose the yellow button really have a label "button" at 00:39
Thats probably the aws thing
141s didn't have AWS, I think it's the valingance override or something
oh rite
