- I went down to the Steam Gala Saturday and Sunday and managed to get some shots of Britannia before the unfortunate derailment, so when I found out I left Station Road and went down to Yarwell junction where you see the engineers trying to re-rail the loco.
The Locos in action were;
70000 "Britannia"
4141 Large Prairie
44422 4F
22
1800 (Thomas, not on film)
Gosh! well, back in the 1970's I was a member of Nene Valley Railway when it was based at the sugar beet factory. I even got to drive one of the loco's up and down the short track at one of the open days. I think they only had the two loco's then, and I'm not sure if was called the NVR back then.
A large group of senior citizens 60+ filled with decades of knowledge, all helping to rerail another senior citizen, Brittania, 62 years old.
Wonderful. Respect gentlemen. Respect.
Very nice steam locomotives! Greetings from Dresden.
I just pick my locos up and put them back on the track!
tpvalley wow you must be really strong
tpvalley Do you have Hornby models?
DGJ P
Tomix is better than Hornby
@@kimjongoof5000 and why is that? it’s just an n gauge company like graham farish or kato, Hornby locos are about double the size
@@bennickss more affordable and I don't hear regular complaints like Hornby.
Typing this two years later, I completely lost interest int eh hobby because of the spending and just generally lost interest in model trains
Thanks, Glad you enjoyed it.
Excellent videography!
Limeys don't know how to rerail a single axle?
Cause of derailment? Why not show rerailing??
MANUAL focus when steam is billowing.
What is the mechanical "whistling" starting at 18:48?
21:15 how lubricating the cylinders if moving cold? Why towing cold?
Thank you.
Isn't that orange diesel railcar (Y6 I tihnk it's called) Swedish? How come it was in the UK?
(Part 2) The whistling I would imagine is just air being sucked in and blow out of the cylinders.For moving Britannia the cylinders mechanical lubrication would still be working even when cold,
I really want to revisit the NVR any time soon. have they still got the Nord?
Wonderful video! Thank you. Cause of the derailment?
very good what do you use to edit it
03011, mind you don't slip mate! Great vid!
Thanks very much
Finally some decent wheel clatter!
Hi I’m neal willis I happened to be in the signal box day of brittania coming off i never did know why come off I would think would have been investigated never did heard if any reason derailment was it just bad luck or what any report came out was 8 years ago
What caused Britannia to derail?
Is that a Swedish DMU i see? Y6 i belive its name is.
Nice video.. thanks for sharing from Sean :)
5:55
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BRITANIA MY FAVE TRAIN :.(
And they changed their name from Nene Valley Steam Railway to Nene Valley Railway because they found it more profitable to run their 'specials' with a shitty diesel shunter instead of a steam loco.
You now what that's what I do easy ain't it
THOMAS I MISS U IN REal lif
thomas the tank engine 3:28
:-)
Wonderful video, beautiful museum!
In the US, in both the steam and diesel eras, most freight locomotives have carried a pair of rerailing frogs, which are cast ramps with raised edges, that can usually resolve a minor derailment by guiding the wheels back onto the track. They are a formalized version of the attempt to wedge dunnage under 70000's wheels. They would have handled this single axle derailment easily. Search "rerailing frog" on google. Since it was at a switch near the points, the frogs would probably have been placed behind the derailed axle.
Of course, in the past, they were needed, since the US probably had more minor derailments than the UK, due to casual track maintenance and spikes into ties.
Was that Wansford tunnel near the end? As a kid I remember going in it when it was closed off.
I'm still trying to get my head around how only 1 wheel derailed? Must have been very stressful for all the volunteers for the Gala.
Thanks allot! I think the derailment was a 1 off, as the points what Britannia was crossing are very tight, (bearing in mind other large locos have used them with no problem) and just by bad luck that the wheel just slipped down the inside as the loco turned, I don't think there was anything wrong with the track, its just a case of the loco being the very largest the points will take with a 50/50 chance of derailing, but I think Britannia did cross the points earlier the same day with no problem
Luckily no one was hurt
fantastic footage, the britannia is a beautiful locomotive and masterful engineering, thanks for sharing
Może amerykańskie diesle są lepsze, tańsze, silniejsze... Ale są tak szpetne jak smród ich spalin. Może TGV jest szybsze... Ale takie bezduszne, komputer ich sercem.
Britannia 70 000 - przepiękna maszyna. "Para buch, koła w ruch..."
Bardzo się cieszę, że wciąż są tacy, którzy o nią dbają i ją filmują. Wspaniały film. Podziwu godna lokomotywownia.
Love these engines , the steam and puff and the sound ! Great invention that changed and shaped in many ways , the world.
There seems to be a lot of derailed locos on Nene Valley Railway. Is their p-way crew in need of training? A week on Keighley civs would soon sort them out.
Probably a silly question but how did that pair of wheels manage to derail when those before and after it did not?
That Train Look Like Murdoch From Thomas And Friends
Would have been good to actually see Britannia get rerailed
- and a Litra Y 10 Railbus from Swedish Railroad. Nice , very nice indeed.
Thank you for using a tripod.
Let me guess... faulty points were the culprit?
Ok looks like it’s on a point newly installed before hand
why is Tomas the train there?
it's thomas the tank engine
admit it you all just cam to see a train crash :P
Very nice production , and the bit of drama only added to it,,,,,,,,ouch Brittania !! What was the `foreign body` that caused the old lady to trip up ,a bogyured (technical term!) sleeper or a split rail???? The great unwashed Britsh Public must be told !!
Some wood packing be better for re railing and pack well forward of direction
Saves it dropping back in like it did and angle it towards track
Looks like they was using old fish plates could do some damage if kicked up by wheels
Nice loco,s though my dad use to drive Britannia,s
See it has main res + ATP pipes on buffer beam as well as vac bag
Presume its for air braked stock on main line ?
Were does it get air from is there a compressor on loco?
This is amazing Ashley! 50 years ago, I used to travel from Liverpool St to Harwich on the Hook Continental. That was when they used to load the cars on by crane! After a usually dreadfully rough North Sea crossing on the SS Avalon, I boarded the Rheingold in Hoek van Holland...a super modern electric Trans European Express with air con and tinted windows, all the way to Munich. So good to see Britannia with that head plate. Thank you so much for this.
Thanks for your comment, firstly I would like to point out that my camera does not have a manual focus, I'm only using a small advanced compact, it's a great camera for 1080i film (I only saved this in 720p). The cause of derailment, maybe it was just unfortunate as the points are a little tight. I would have stayed longer but the engineers couldn't do it then, they had to go back to the office and work out how to, it was completed at 2AM (I think).
Thanks allot, glad you enjoyed it, I must say though it was not that pleasant for me standing there in it with all the stones, luckily they missed my camera!
Really good shots. I love the bit when Britannia smothers the camera with steam & then the camera changes it's angle
Excellent Ashley --.liked the low angle shots
Did you shoot that all on that compact .
I thought it was a point derailed on but it’s on a straight bit of track very curious to what it come off
Good job it was 'Britannia'. Had it been 'Ollie' his anger would have known no bounds!
Great video i really enjoyed it :D So nice to see a heritage railway running their trains at a decent speed instead of the usual glacial progress.]
That is unless you sped the recording up! :D
You wouldn't stop playing with it, and now look what you've done! :D
Thanks, and yes, it was all on my Small Lumix, its a real great camera.
Some very good video of Britannia for the enthusiast like me. Being a fan
sad
. Hi Nancy how r u I miss talking to u I am having a lot of pain in my body
And another engine like Edward the blue 4th small engine and his the oldest engine
I see Thomas the tank engine and Oliver's shape also Bill or Ben's shape
I DONT LIKE THE OPENING GRAPHICS
Britannia derailed because of some broken track
Yes I am, I just had to use that music!
Great footage
Hay i work with the guy who filmed this
Pretty old ladies! Excellent videography!
I really enjoyed watching this video it brought good memories of when I used to
collect the train numbers when I was a young lad of about 10-13yr old I am now
67yrs.I remember the BRITANNIA well. Good video.
Thanks for the comment, nice to know you enjoyed it.
its always a pleasure to watch videos like
these.
Where did you learn wrighting, guy?!
I have to agree... also hi callum
great video magic
I love the English locos, but can't stand the little toot-toot whistles. Glad American steam locos have a more fitting whistle for a 100+ ton beast.
I am completely the other way. It wouldn't be so bad if they Americans did not have to keep on and on and on blowing the things! I can never hear the actual locomotive on the US vids.
No offence to America in any way, but as 948Francis said the American ones are way to loud and long.
LittleGreatWestern Big country means big engines.
Julian Begg That's correct--when monster locos and mile long trains are on the move accross vast area's like prairys
, it kinda takes a bit longer for them to stop--especially when there's an obstruction on the tracks--animal or human. Therefore, it follows that plenty of warning of it's arrival is paramount, with long bursts of very loud whistles/chimes. This takes a hell of a lot of steam, and big locos can afford it--smaller British ones cannot, so they use very piercing short toot's. especially the work-horse shunter's and 'tanker's.
true.
Was anyone hurt?
It only derailed
Luckily no one was hurt.
ยินดีครับชอบรถไฟจักรไอน้ำทุกรุ่นเลย
ครับเรื่องรถไฟชอบตั่งแต่วัยเด็กเคยนั่งมาก่อน
รถไฟเครื่องจักรไอน้ำก็อีกหนึ่งแนวคิดว่าทั้งประหยัดและทนทาน
ทำไมเมืองไทยไม่เอากลับมาใช้อีกปล่อยให้ผุพังน่าเสียดายน่ะท่าน
LOVE those HUGE driving wheels! They look to be 6 feet in diameter!!
It's really hard to believe that a small Sentinel can shunt Britannia.
Britannia's gotta weight like, two-three hundred tons, right?
Something like 110 tons including tender, with a full coal and water load...possibly less.
