Well saved! Funny how everyone start running around frantically when they realise she’s gathering revs a bit quick eh?! Be great to see a video of what’s the little loco is up to these days!!
A diesel running away means that you could even shut off the fuel and it would still run, since the turbo seals are wrecked and thus the engine sucks in its own lubricant oil and runs on that. There aren't many ways of stopping a runaway diesel, best chances are to block off the air intake (but don't even think of doing it with a cloth, it'll just get sucked in) or to stall it, if at all possible.
Thomas was acting very cheeky as sir topum hat tried to throttle him down.
Reminds me of our NB "Tiger" last time it was run. Lots of Easystart!
Cool little switch engine.I can't believe its also turbocharged,impressive!!.
if it works it works and that's all that matters, glad you guys could save that poor engine from destruction.

sounded like it almost became a run away motor
Good save boys😂 thought she was gonna get away on ya lol
When my boys saw this video they said, "If Thomas the train was a diesel that is how he would look." LOL
"..uhhhh, is the turbo supposed to spool up at idle?? UH OHHHH!"

Boy that one almost got away
Run away, Tom ;-D
Soon as it fired i thought it would run away
Smookeeeee on the railroadtracks..... fire in the engine! :P
Well, there are even lots of 4-cylinder car diesel engines with displacement of 1.6l to 2l, and nowadays most of them are turbocharged.
It sounded like it was gonna explode
Nicker knacker purrrrr
You need a least a board just to choke it off.
looks like a steamer
