enniscorthyman Posted April 25, 2014 Author Posted April 25, 2014 Deadly What about that truck pulling out at 4:10!! murrayec I saw that alright.I suppose the truck driver would not mind 088 in notch 8 as much as we would.
StevieB Posted April 26, 2014 Posted April 26, 2014 The 071's are obviously too old to have been fitted with anti slip control - impressive nonetheless. Stephen
murrayec Posted April 26, 2014 Posted April 26, 2014 Hi As far as know sanders have been done away with because of the damage caused to the rails-n-wheels. Modern locos are all equipped with electronic traction control, though as Stephen says- 071's are obviously too old murrayec
Blaine Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 If its really bad a bit of manual sanding can be done
Garfield Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 A great way to get square wheels... keeps the wheel lathe in business. Lovely!! Do they have sanders? The last locos to be supplied with sandboxes were the Metro Vicks, and they were soon removed.
heirflick Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 As long as you don't overdo it.... [ATTACH=CONFIG]13073[/ATTACH] what the F"*"* happened here?
BosKonay Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 This happened on the Conn Central when they were on Amtraks Springfield line. Apparently the engineer was new and the train was stopped but he kept the throttle out. YIKES!!!
heirflick Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 3 of his senses must be dud...sight, hearing and smell:rolleyes:
BosKonay Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 Apprently it was a consist, and it was left stopped in place for 4 hours, but two of the locos were actualy spinning in place. Various theories including lack of 'skill' of the crew, or a kinked or damaged MU linkup
heirflick Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 spinning for 4 hours? ...and nobody noticed? - beggers belief!
BosKonay Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 Apparently once you get past the initial friction molten steel makes an excellent lubricant!
