@phillipcleaver70635 жыл бұрын
For you train buffs out there ; where I live we had the London to Edinburgh line right across the end of the valley , the line the Flying Scotsman ran on , & an old drinking mate of mine told me there was a water trough installed right in the middle of the track at the Woodford Halse end , for the Scotsman to draw water up from at speed without stopping at Rugby , on one occasion the fireman ( I think ) dropped the chute too quick & smashed it straight off on the end of the trough , the driver screwed the brakes on , they were at the old Rugby station before they could stop ; the driver made the fireman walk back about 4 -1/2 miles & pick it up so as to teach him never to do it again ! ( just thought you,d like to know )

The Flying Scotsman ran on the East Coast mainline, but Woodford Halse was on the Great Central mainline so I doubt it somehow....

Amazing how powerful the Deltic’s were. Over night we went from Victorian steam to a proper engine.
@tonymaries1652 Жыл бұрын
A4s were reputed to be good for 3000 horse power. Because the East Coast Main Line was not due to be electrified BR needed a diesel capable of even more power. When the Deltics were introduced the standard main line diesel was the EE Type 4, already obsolescent and with a maximum power output of 2000 horse. They were rejected for use on several services because they were no more powerful than the steam locomotives they were supposed to replace - particularly Royal Scots and Britannias.

Awesome!! The anticipation is as good as the rush when it thunders past. Reminds me of watching Westerns approach when I was a child standing on a footbridge directly over the line. (I don't recall ever seeing a Deltic on the Western Region regrettably) I was convinced I would be killed as it seemed to be coming straight at me and I would run out of the way at the last second. Took several more passes from later trains before I had the courage to stand 'in it's path' and even then it was terrifying. As it passed you would get a blast of filthy diesel exhaust then the carriages would thrum, thrum, thrum (exactly the sound in this video). Beautiful!!!

@Robert Horwat, incase you have not seen this one! A second or 2 before you hear the dogs bark,you'll hear 2 Napiers at full chat. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/art9adyBtpbenYk.html I remember putting the palm of my right hand on the bodyside of 55022,my whole skeleton vibrated. Not everyone appreciated them though. I drive an Edinburgh taxi,I was sent to EC to collect a driver who was new in the job in '78 he told me a few stories of his working life. Funniest was the time he'd been stopped at a signal on the ECML at the foot of a back garden & had an old woman batter the cabside with her mop or brush,she was sick fed up of her clean washing ending up covered in Deltic exhaust oil. Priceless!

Were that running today all the maintenance staff would be crying out for compensation and quoting environmental stuff. I have been in a running shed when 37s start up and no one wants to sit around too long while it warms up. The only reason we really like these things is because we don't see them anymore. Same with Steamers, if you have to work for a living every day on the things they don't look so glorious.

If you are still not convinced that this choo choo is motoring, by the end, watch the beginning as it comes into view, see how fast it is around the curve and straightened up. Ask yourself this punk. Would you have crossed the line. Were you sure it wasn't moving fast? Did you feel lucky? Well did you punk?

@Paul Langford the 55s always smoked like this,even when new,they are 2 stroke,pretty much like a Wartburg or Trabant. This is what they are like when the driver puts full power on after running at slow speed,but at full power 90MPH-100MPH they are actually quite clean. Deltic followers like the NVH they produce. Life would be so boring if everything was like as in Switzerland. Enjoy this! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/art9adyBtpbenYk.html

Napier Deltic engine. Three cranks, opposed pistons, a lot of power in a small space. It's as if you bred two Fairbanks Morse 38 8&1/8 engines, and the zygote had a tetraploid genome. I think it was invented for marine applications, then used for locomotives. Or maybe it was the other way around.

@@markokelly2494 Not Deltic but the engine for Bugatti Royale car from the 1930s was fitted into the French version of a 1930s HST as the car was such a sales bomb during the depression era. Sorry I don't know the full story but I got the info from the French SNCF railway museum in Mulhouse.
