  • I went down to the Steam Gala Saturday and Sunday and managed to get some shots of Britannia before the unfortunate derailment, so when I found out I left Station Road and went down to Yarwell junction where you see the engineers trying to re-rail the loco.
    The Locos in action were;
    70000 "Britannia"
    4141 Large Prairie
    44422 4F
    22
    1800 (Thomas, not on film)

    A large group of senior citizens 60+ filled with decades of knowledge, all helping to rerail another senior citizen, Brittania, 62 years old.
    Wonderful. Respect gentlemen. Respect.

    This is amazing Ashley! 50 years ago, I used to travel from Liverpool St to Harwich on the Hook Continental. That was when they used to load the cars on by crane! After a usually dreadfully rough North Sea crossing on the SS Avalon, I boarded the Rheingold in Hoek van Holland...a super modern electric Trans European Express with air con and tinted windows, all the way to Munich. So good to see Britannia with that head plate. Thank you so much for this.

    collect the train numbers when I was a young lad of about 10-13yr old I am now
    67yrs.I remember the BRITANNIA well. Good video.

    Wonderful video, beautiful museum!
    In the US, in both the steam and diesel eras, most freight locomotives have carried a pair of rerailing frogs, which are cast ramps with raised edges, that can usually resolve a minor derailment by guiding the wheels back onto the track. They are a formalized version of the attempt to wedge dunnage under 70000's wheels. They would have handled this single axle derailment easily. Search "rerailing frog" on google. Since it was at a switch near the points, the frogs would probably have been placed behind the derailed axle.
    Of course, in the past, they were needed, since the US probably had more minor derailments than the UK, due to casual track maintenance and spikes into ties.

    Gosh! well, back in the 1970's I was a member of Nene Valley Railway when it was based at the sugar beet factory. I even got to drive one of the loco's up and down the short track at one of the open days. I think they only had the two loco's then, and I'm not sure if was called the NVR back then.

  • @Grassracer174
    @Grassracer174  11 лет назад +3

    Thanks allot! I think the derailment was a 1 off, as the points what Britannia was crossing are very tight, (bearing in mind other large locos have used them with no problem) and just by bad luck that the wheel just slipped down the inside as the loco turned, I don't think there was anything wrong with the track, its just a case of the loco being the very largest the points will take with a 50/50 chance of derailing, but I think Britannia did cross the points earlier the same day with no problem

    Some wood packing be better for re railing and pack well forward of direction
    Saves it dropping back in like it did and angle it towards track
    Looks like they was using old fish plates could do some damage if kicked up by wheels
    Nice loco,s though my dad use to drive Britannia,s
    See it has main res + ATP pipes on buffer beam as well as vac bag
    Presume its for air braked stock on main line ?
    Were does it get air from is there a compressor on loco?

    What is the mechanical "whistling" starting at 18:48?
    21:15 how lubricating the cylinders if moving cold? Why towing cold?

    Thanks for your comment, firstly I would like to point out that my camera does not have a manual focus, I'm only using a small advanced compact, it's a great camera for 1080i film (I only saved this in 720p). The cause of derailment, maybe it was just unfortunate as the points are a little tight. I would have stayed longer but the engineers couldn't do it then, they had to go back to the office and work out how to, it was completed at 2AM (I think).

      @MrDaiseymay 9 лет назад

      Julian Begg That's correct--when monster locos and mile long trains are on the move accross vast area's like prairys
      , it kinda takes a bit longer for them to stop--especially when there's an obstruction on the tracks--animal or human. Therefore, it follows that plenty of warning of it's arrival is paramount, with long bursts of very loud whistles/chimes. This takes a hell of a lot of steam, and big locos can afford it--smaller British ones cannot, so they use very piercing short toot's. especially the work-horse shunter's and 'tanker's.
