Imagine if it derailed 🤯

Cheers

Its just a buffer for if they collide with something. A failsafe ontop of the already failsafed flasks

Looking forward to watching your footage, you should have gone to Glan Conwy to get it anyway what an amazing little station that is!

​@bptrains Glan Conwy is one of my favourite stations in the country no doubt, but I've already been there earlier this year and decided instead to tick off Dolgarrog because I've not been there before

@theretrocrowe I did see a few tripods and cameras at Dolgarrog when I went past and so maybe one of them was you

No it's a class 40 but they were made at around a similar time to the class 55 deltics

Not too sure, could also be 001 and 029

I don't think the 507 preservation group have got a new date yet

Nice one

Cheers mate 👍

Great to see the return of Bahamas in full force, she looked amazing going under the road Bridge at speed

Nice one, the steam looked amazing going under the road bridge

Gotta love a bit of 68 thrash

It was going to longsight depot, it is likely that the sets will go to chiltern

It might possibly go to chiltern

Cheers mate, gotta love seeing the 56s this time of year on the RHTT

Cheers mate 👍

It must have a very bad flat wheel

Chester is good this time of year for things like the RHTT and the occasional railtour but there isn't much variety all the time, it's a civity central now

It was just a test run for any operators that may want them in the future I presume

It definitely needs it's wheels being checked, Acton bridge sure is a good place to spend an afternoon a bit of spotting there never goes a miss

Don't think they'll be going to Northern, maybe an operator like crosscountry could use them but we'll see, there is a huge lack of common sense these days with the railways

@@bptrains Sadly so. It seems that most companies ignore common sense and we have useless people in charge where we that are smarter are left out in the cold. Personally if I was a train operator. I would use ten repurposed Class 60's with the Mk5's because being 6 axle would mean more traction on the hills and the extra axles would take a HEP generator. Metra in West Chicago bought 10 ex-BNSF EMD SD70MAC's that were freight locomotives and had these rebuilt to SD70MACH with a HEP power pack to power passenger cars and they were upgeared to 95mph workings. Something similar could be done with the Class 60 by using equipment from the Stadler Euro 4001 and replace everything inside and use a Caterpillar C-175 or even the Cummins QSK95 power unit rated at 4200hp which would provide 500hp for HEP/ETH to power the coaches and 3700hp for traction. That would allow this new repurposed ex-Class 60 to haul and propel the Mk5's over the Pennines, Shap and the Lickey Incline with ease if not used for longer distance services in place of the Voyagers. They would fit the Manchester to Paignton services nicely.

Rumours abound that Chiltern Railways will use them

Chiltern seems the more likely destination due to the current usage of 68’s. But as above sense on the railways doesn’t seem to exist anymore

Most sets still are, this was just a test run as maybe an operator might show an interest in them soon

As TPE will need more electric units why not rebuild the mk 5s.

Definitely needs it's wheels being looked at

The people of Scarborough will find it very scary

They probably won't as apparently they are getting more 802s

Almost had a heart attack when I saw the camera falling!

It's not that ugly lol

What train class is this than?

Cheers, you can never go wrong with a bit of Acton bridge!

Longsight depot

We can't build trains to last a long time anymore apparently

Thanks

@@bptrains Np

Good to see northern getting more electric stock as more of their routes are getting electrified now

I know, what is it with these stupid decisions first the TPE 68s now these, I've heard rumors saying DB may be getting new units but we'll see

Thanks

Their traction motors are no more 😢

Nice one

Depends how long they keep them for, they will probably paint over 222 but hopefully they keep 221 as it is

I don't think either of these units are going to northern they are going into store

@@kevinjohnson7415 they might go to a rail museum but if northern does paint over either

Thanks!
