[AtomicFFProductions]

I knew they were powerful but holy hell - that is one show of power worth watching, even if it was unintended!

[warminstercentral]

i can recall this incident .and there is no doubt whatsoever .that the sheer torque of the transmission couple to the md655 .was always under estimated .there is not or never has been any comparison with other type 4s operating when these majestic machines ruled the western reigon .hats off to anybody who looks after surviving members of class 52 ..

Why where the brakes still on the 47? Can't of done it much good.

[XxBec3509]

[XxBec3509]

@Intercity47GBRail lol i agree fancy forgeting to take off the brakes ,, lucky i remeber to lock my door ,, ! and turn off the cooker !

[XxBec3509]

@Intercity47GBRail it took about a clear inch of of the wheel set of the 47 ..opps ,, !

[baconsandwich2007]

Can someone remind me why these glorious locos were scrapped? I forget why!

[XxBec3509]

@baconsandwich2007 the reason for being scrapped ,,not certain if there ever was one ! ?

[magicmaybach]

@baconsandwich2007 Cos the twats in charge of the BRB were anti-hydraulic on the grounds of their being "non-standard"..i.e not being over-weight under-powered diesel-electric shite like the other regions had to live with..not to mention the fact that they didnt like the western regions determination not to toe the line and adopt locos that were crap in comparison to what the hydraulics had to offer...

[XxBec3509]

@magicmaybach ..good cooment mate ,,i agree thats what happened ,, ! shame the hydralics never lasted but they should of the idiots in charge of the railways at that time were very short sighted and cocked it up ,,look at the 1000+40 tour the champ clearly done her fair share of work ! and i must add out performed the modern traction MTU/hsts ,, if i had my way id build a new fleet of hydralics and stickem all on the penz-padds ,, putting railways back on time!

[XxBec3509]

@baconsandwich2007 .... why is not clear m8 ,, i think they cocked up the railways ,, cutting up the 1000.s is still very hard to get ones head around !!! thanks for adding a comment

[dieselmanmike]

That must have been a graft for the Western! And on one engine, with only 6 wheels driving i am surprised it didnt slip !Nice vid.

[XxBec3509]

great grip eh ! thanks for looking m8

[Dave58282]

Doesn't do much for 47760 - is it prone to bad luck??! I remember another 47 sidelined at Salisbury for weeks after it had been dragged out on the back of a train with brakes on.

[HentisD6569]

Nice vid. Just love hearing Champion deoart as she does....fantstic!!

[AvonRailFan]

great video mate 5stars and fav

[Trainbrain1949]

Had a bad accident in the early 1970s caused by a locked wheel. It slid do much it built up a false flange and derailed on a switch frog.
