- Rare footage of a Class 58 012 banking 37 710 & 60 030 on empty steel through Bromsgrove up the Lickey Incline. Locomotive 60 030 having failed, class 37 being put on the front. 03/04/1992.
Probably my favourite bankers the 58s. They were amazing climbers too. Great stuff Mr C
Indeed Rich. They were also my fave loco of the modern era. Something a bit different. Have you watched the BS route learners clip ? A certain well known local videoer makes a cameo appearance filming the 4 20s back in the days when we all had plenty of hair
Very nostalgic. loved to see 56's & 58's on MGR service and the Double headed 37's on Steel up and down the camphill line, Brum.
Amazing footage, really enjoyed this. 👍
Nice tractor thrash pulling the class 60 and class 58 as I think the tractor was quite capable of pulling the whole train load by itself!!! 😎
Very random combination, great catch back in the day, Ive subbed.
Cheers mate. Having filmed it arriving at Garringtons I would ideally have liked to get them at Vigo powering up the incline but was on my bike that day and didnt want to risk not getting there in time. The station was second best option.
A rare bit of Bone-thrash! 🚂👍
Good stuff. Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it
Did an unloaded train really need 3 units ?
Yes seems excessive but the 60 was DIT and even though it was an m/t steel it would have been twice the usual length.
@@ermorailways3866 DIT = ??? , not working i assume. Cool vid anyway.
@@N330AA Dead in tow
Thanks glad you enjoyed it
Absolutely. We mustn't forget that Lickey is 1.37, converted, that is a 2.7% grade!! No way a single class 37 would have made the climb with those wagons and a dead 128 tonne loco with just 1750 HP.
Awsome😊
58012 didn't look too healthy either.
Perfectly healthy for a Ruston. You'd be surprised how bad they were at times, and we still got there....on time,if not early!!
When are they going to stop these engines belching out pollution?
It's a British tradition!!
@stevejohnston2138: 😂
@stevejohnston2138 >>> Time you got your things together & moved into a green house & stayed there forever if you don't like it. See all that burned up fuel most is carbon, we live a carbon based planet sorry to break it to you & trees + plants benefit from our existence too. Your UN/WEF/EU Global warming false hood..... not proven yet aka your full of sh*t!. While we common sense people get on with normal life that includes HD power plants with HIGH OUTPUT diesel engines keeping the economy going. Electric traction.... where does the electric come from ? Mostly hydrocarbons: Has it's limits where as diesel traction is much more flexible departing from the weight rating class ??? (track carry weight) You'd be up in arms if you saw a class 37/9 - slugs climb the same hill...... BRING ON THE CLAG!!!!!! MORE CLAG!!!!!!!! MORE SMOKY THE BETTER!!!!!!!!
Actually the person who said that the class 37 couldn’t or probably was to weak to pull the 60 and unloaded metals up the incline is probably wrong because that’s a 37/7 and along with the 37/8 and 37/9s they were the most powerful in-fact they were the same power as the 56s and 58s they were the modified versions they had tractive effort of 62.000 lb and weighed 120 tons so yeah that 37/7 could of defo hauled that train by itself
Coupling loads are the reason for banker loco
Why British locomotives are so ugly?
Whats your excuse for being ugly ?
To remind you of your women back home
@@chriscringle7740 Hey, Santa Claus, please be more polite. You don't know me. Then please don't offend the women. I am talkjng about the locomotives appearance, not people. It is only a matter of opinion.
@@antoniocarlosruizfernandes9575 please feel free to post pictures of your beautiful locomotives from your country and stop insulting ours
@@chriscringle7740 Now you are gentle. The talking is about LOCOMOTIVES. Goodbye.......
