Can someone explain the throttle lever positions and how it’s used to accelerate smoothly please.

@ML66B 5 ай бұрын

Yes.There are 6 positions. OFF, RUN down, NOTCH down, HOLD, NOTCH up and RUN up. At low speed you would use the individual notch up to add power then at higher speed use RUN up (or down) to control the power.

The only time I rode in an 87, was 87 019 from Euston to Wolverhampton. I regularly ride 86s and 90s on Anglia. I have also done a 91 from Kings Cross to York, and a 73 from Victoria to Gatwick. Plus driven a V63 / 630 "Gigant" in Hungary !!

Hi, love all the different noises going on here. (I remember being fascinated by the 87's & 86's for the first time in 1980 Euston Station on route to Preston Lancs) -- Q? = were all transformer cooling fans switched on/off automatically???

Incredible machine. Some of these 87s when in good condition could regularly put out well over 7000 hp. A very simple locomotive, no computers just a tap changer transformer and four traction motors, and enough power to pull the top off a mountain.

Hellfire tapchanger action! Love the neutral section breaker noise with the 'engine' room door kept open. No simple pull on power controller and let it all happen; drivers really needed to 'drive' these AC locos.

What's a tap changer?

@ChangesOneTim 3 жыл бұрын

@@theblacktrainboy373 The tapchanger draws current from (or indeed 'taps into') the main transformer for the traction motors. It's basically a widget consisting of electrical contacts of differing voltages operated by a camshaft mechanism. On these locos there are 38 taps. The tapchanger is manually controlled directly from the driver's desk where, by to-and-fro of the master controller, he does all the 'notching' to increase/ decrease/cut voltage in steps as required. Tapchangers are ancient history now. All locos built since the 1980s have automatic 'stepless' control using new-fangled stuff called electronics(!)

Oooh, I love that satisfying clunk as the breakers open/close through the neutral section and the fans powering up again. Also the electrical hum when the handle is held in 'run up' - she's definitely drawing some amps! This is the perfect '87 video. You get just about every sound they make. I miss them so much.

@andybunyan452 4 жыл бұрын

As a former UK railwayman with noise induced hearing loss I'm curious to understand what noise levels a driver would be exposed to in an 87. Listening even in this video gives the impression that it is loud and a driver has no hiding place to get away from it. The AC locos sounded great when those fans whirred up but at what price?

It's the power controller. Used to run up or down the tapchanger, a device that varies the power output from the main transformer to the traction motors.
