    We in the Netherlands still have some BR 08 shunters called the NS class 500/600. Most of them are in preservation, but a small amount is still in service for shunting or track maintenance

      I understand these Dutch shunters are actually class 11’s. They look the same to me. 😉 edit: it’s also in the video. 🙂

    I'll have to give it a better look next time we visit and take a few photos.
    I have a 3 class 8s on my model railway layout, I feel a repaint of one coming on.

    Fun fact. The 08s are the same Tractive Effort as a class66 Deltic,,, 55,000 lbs.
    Lot of pulling power from little engine. Foster Yeoman run some long heavy stone trains. Testament to the Grunt of the Gronk, lol.
    Great video. Great content.
    I learned a few things. Thanks for taking the time to put this together. 👍
    Good luck in 2021.

    • @danieljones1861
      @danieljones1861 2 роки тому

      I think you mean the class 55 Deltic. They have a maximum tractive effort of 50,000 lbf and a starting tractive effort of 30,500 lbf. The 08s have a tractive effort of 35,000 lbf, and the 11s have a tractive effort of 34,900 lbf. So while neither the 08s nor 11s could match the 55s for their maximum tractive effort, (mostly because they could only go 15 to 20 miles an hour, while the 55s could go 100+ miles an hour), they both had a greater tractive effort at starting speeds. Which meant that they could shunt more over shorter distances.
      You are right, that is a lot of pulling power for engines of their smaller size. I learned a few new things as well. I hope this helps to shed some more light on the specifications of the little engines that are often overlooked. I hope you have a wonderful day. :)

    Funny things to drive , if you're too fast past notch on you don't get any power but she reves up , then you go promptly back to notch on the she nearly does a wheely !

  • @bobuk5722
    @bobuk5722 2 роки тому

    I've wondered how shunters developed enough tractive effort to move heavy trains. Smaller wheels help of course. Steel on steel friction co-efficient is about 0.2 so 49 ton weight suggests a max drawbar pull of, well, around 5 tons or 11,000 lbs. Am I anything like in the right ball park? Obviously it is enough, but for how heavy a load? What about wet rails? I guess one could always split the load and do two or more movements.

    Nice tribute to the humble stalwarts of the line, has 08032 worked on the line ?
    I was always curious what FY did with it, and the other VB 08s there, for 23 years since the arrival of the 59s, air-brake only as was all the freight stock maintained at and used from Merehead, I assume it was for shunting faulty single wagons, brakes isolated, into the maintenance shed ? Would the train loco have split them out of the rake, or was that Western Yeoman II, the GM shunter's job ? That's a lil beastie of a loco but sadly I doubt it'd fit through the MHR platforms !

    Pinch bar or horse.

    • @twonkfieldrailways4110
      @twonkfieldrailways4110 4 роки тому +3

      steam locos were used it was just impractical. but horses were used in smaller yards where having a loco was too expensive to justify.

    • @neiloflongbeck5705
      @neiloflongbeck5705 3 роки тому +1

      Horses were still in use in BR into the ate 1950s/early 1960s. One if the last was at Newmarket for moving horse vans. I'm not aware of pinch bars being used in the UK. Some locations used powered capstan to move wagons.

    • @WillStratford
      @WillStratford 4 роки тому +10

      Hi Pete, apologies for missing it out. The original 12049 was purchased by DAY Aggregates at Brentford, South West London, and used to shunt their internal sidings. Sadly 12049 was damaged beyond repair by a fire at Ropley in 2010, and has subsequently been replaced by sister 12082 from Barrow Hill and numbered as 12049.

    • @D8059PRODUCTIONS
      @D8059PRODUCTIONS 3 роки тому +1

      As Will said, yes, the original 12049 it was burned down In the ropley 2010 fire of the carriage works so was replaced by 12082, however 12082 is now not displaying 12049 but is displaying 12082!
