Good movie

[suecaz27]

Just love the Fest/WHR. At Xmas managed to get to Harbour Station to see the new spur and golden bolts. Can't wait for the big ride to B,Fest. Thanks to everyone for bringing these lovely railways back to grace the community and scenery.

Great advert for the railway...,.

Has Criccieth got fuel problems? It sounds as though it's on the verge of running out of fuel.

[SillyBillyFR]

No, the servo which controls the throttle (rewuire for the deadman's system) had rattled itself loose, so it was confsuing the complicated electronics. But obviously the priority was to get it across town.

[tpickthall]

Brilliant to see. I like Criccieth's impression of a Class 37 with those thrashy clag plumes. Possibly a little on the poorly side though?

[Maesfforddrailway]

Poor old Criccieth! She didn't sound well at all. Still, I know a man who is very good at fixing diesel engines. He worked wonders with a certain little Ruston loco' recently!

[SillyBillyFR]

Probably not, the last thing I heared was that it's in the electronics!!!!!!!! That Richard would totally trash it!

[ColumbineMHLR]

For all who want to know, it's probably the throttle potentionate control that's gone wrong hence glitching on the throttle valve.

[LLanidloesywddar]

Hmm, healthy sounding engine lol

[pencefn]

Looks like the pilotman for the trip over Network Rail metals did not manage to get off until the train reached Harbour station.

[applecounty]

Excellent, but please, pleeeease do something with that engine! Should have passed the donation box around.

[SillyBillyFR]

It was working fine last Sunday, it will be repaired but when this video was taken the priority was to get it through the town.

[applecounty]

That is a relief.

[laalrattysbrother]

Wow, Cric sounded truly awful, I hope the WHR dosn't treat all locos like that

But otherwise fantastic video of a historic occasion. Thanks for getting it on video

[andyg3]

nice one will.

new camera works a treat.

dont diesels just sound shyte

[SillyBillyFR]

The diesel only sound bad because the WHR broke it, normally it gives a healthy roar.

[theamateurbasher]

History in the making indeed. Can't wait to see more scenes like this later in the year...

Five well deserved stars!

[thorpeyvid]

that engine is rough

[ColumbineMHLR]

Blimey! Quite an achievement! Certainly needs that governor fixing!
