Hardly surprising with the state of the NYMR's track! B1 is normally a very capable loco.

[@OlanKenny]

Probably a bit embarrassing to stall RIGHT next to the sheds but they got going eventually. Great footage

[@TANISLA2]

It’s slipped to a Stand!

[@Jarmy05]

Uh oh

[@mattseymour8637]

What caused the slipping?

[@TANISLA2]

Matt Seymour it was the first train of the day, damp rails and poor adhesion, and perhaps a bit of “operator” error!

[@mattseymour8637]

So does it affect the grip when not been run on for periods of time?

[@aislingmichaelaoneill1028]

Matt Seymour .The wrong sort of rain.

When an engine needs help, she needs help. Simple as that.
