He's changed ends, and probably due to the fact it's a running line on one side and vegitation on the other he's opted to go through the engine room. Shutting it down whilst changing ends makes it a bit kinder on the ears
Probably weren't given ear defenders back then, I remember them being issued. As for not walking along the trunking & the vegetation by the cess, I walked along some near Romsey and those brambles are vicious.
I was oin a failed 450 EMU outside Farnham.... the announcement came from the driver after a few minutes, "I have been advised to shut it down and restart it!" much to the amusement of the passengers, imagining a ctrl alt del situation!
1991. Back in the days when Britain's railways were a simplified, unified network - like so many abroad; particularly in Europe - and didn't pander to a gullible Electorate; or competing political parties; or competing commercial Contractors all vying for a slice of the cake. National infrastructures and networks like roads, railways, water, gas and electricity should always be run for a country's national population - and not just for private greed and profit - even if it does look 'good' on the surface. 'Competition' is supposed to drive down prices and simplify and improve matters for customers and 'consumers'. A great shame it doesn't always 'deliver' that way !

Yes, that makes sense. Thanks for your comment.

How much room is there in the middle of the engine of a 56?
@@jasonl4411.A sideways walk would get you through..
@@jasonl4411. There's a slim corridor running the length of the engine bay. Only just wide enough to walk through IF you're not of the 'portly' type !
Gotta make sure to restart the engine every now and then so the new drivers install correctly ;)
🤣🤣🤣

Did that fix it?!
Of course... no trouble at all!@@JimH24
yes... @@JimH24
We had this 56 at Gateshead and it became one of the most unreliable locos about . “Blyth power” it was named .
we had 56038 at Canton
Power station in the background. Oh how I miss the 90s ❤

pwhor, what a sound :) love these diesel engines.
Glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for your comment👍
Nice little video
Thanks!
Have done exactly the same myself on a few loco's. JG.
Nothing wrong with that, its VERY noisy in the engine room . Shut down to walk through it.
A light 56 has got a fair amount of pick up!
Yes, especially when driven properly!
Awesome brakes too!
Lots of start up videos not may shut down nice change
Thanks
Ah yes, this one was fitted with stop start technology...
@MatthewBrayElectrical Way ahead of its time!
Did you see that ludicrous display last night?
Driver wasnt gentle it
0:45 what is that noise?
Sounds like a howling dog!
I think it may have been a dog in the background! The area is amongst houses so maybe dogs in gardens nearby.
@@JimH24 I see.. I was not sure and thought it may be a sticking flywheel on the starter motor.
@@englishtwister I think the starter motor sound starts a few seconds later...
@@JimH24 What happens is, one motor goes in, closes contacts and the second goes in, then both rotate , class 60 the same . Worked on these from new
@@DOCTORDROTT That's interesting, thanks
