  • NRM owned 60103 Flying Scotsman pauses at platform 7 Birmingham New Street for a crew change working 5z75 from Swanage to Bury ELR. After a couple of minutes the engine sets off with a slight wheel slip and a whistle before heading off into the tunnels.
    I think it might be the first time Flying Scotsman has visited Birmingham New Street in preservation as I can’t find anything online that suggests different. The last time 60103 visited New Street would’ve been in 1964.

    I saw it coming into Crewe that day. I was heading south out of the station on a service to London. Total surprise.

      Apple green is the colour of the LNER Scotsman. This baby is under the care of the NRM. He looks fine just as he is!!!!

      Cheers Jamie. Was nice to not be swarmed by crowds. I think a lot of people expected that at new street hence why a handful of people were there

      You were also on the correct platform for the good shots. Again people get close because you could have been famous for the youtube train spotting calamity of another local commuter blocking your shot. But you got the last laugh.

    Not much wheel slip, but then one support coach wasn't much of a load! Nice camera work though.

      Thanks Brian. I Was very surprised to not have a swarm of people descend on the end of the platform. If my memory is correct it’s Scotsman’s first visit to New Street since 1964 but I’m sure somebody more knowledgeable will be able to correct me if I am wrong.

      @@blackcountrysteamvideos8021 I think most people prefer to be close up on same platform but I'd have done same as you & took my chances lol. I got it at Widney Manor. Yes, I saw her in 64 as was a fireman at Saltley but no idea if shes been back, as you say, someone will tell you lol.

    What precisely is a wheel slip? What causes it?

    • @blackcountrysteamvideos8021
      @blackcountrysteamvideos8021  Год назад

      It’s when the driving wheels lose adhesion and spin around. Common causes of wheel slip are wet or greasy rail head.
