[trainlover658]

[commanderclass50]

[CornishMorgan]

@commanderclass50 +1, a couple a people smoking on a open station is dangerous to everyone on the platform but this aint? great logic uk government, dictatorship is great aint it.

Used to hate the Class 31's up to their end of their working lives. Nearly had a near miss when brakes failed to operate on one of my workings. Had to evacuate cab one day on another one as it filled up with fumes - 2 days later it was withdrawn (31466)

[ustupidmoose]

wasnt the fire alarm.. but it was loud..

and all that smoke got rid of afew spiders.dozens of them were absailing from the roof

[JBTEvans]

you can almost smell the clag haha

[trainengineer2]

What was that ringing at the end of the movie the fire alarm or something

[2obsessivecompulsive]

And i thought Volvo trucks of old were bad for smoke after starting!!

[robertjamesgreen]

its a wonder you didnt choke - quality flaming

[NJPurling]

Did the clag set off the fire alarm?

What genius thought it was a god idea to start her indoors anyway?

[rammergramps]

wowow

[infliction9999]

omg iv never seen a class 31 tht bad where im a volentter at the great central the 31 there is really bad for flames but this is the worts iv eva seen

[tpvalley]

look at d5600 after piston change.

[1madaboutguitar]

Well its more exciting then gassing yourself to death in the garage I guess

[LynxZF7]

Why did it do that, was it meant to do that?

[merseyrail508124]

Wow!

[video47]

Wow!

[mststv]

Jesus !

Those flames, how long was it before the fire brigade turned up? =D

[Victorialine67]

not long, a mate of mine was telling me about something like this, the fire brigade turned up and residents were moaning about the thick clag :D my lordz!!

[gotorm2]

Somebody open the window :-)

[racey975]

haha lol

[tpvalley]

@racey975

the aws? while stationary in the shed?

I dont think it was.

[klambert94]

Crikey!!!!!!!

[mckerraljamie]

Why is it these engines rev slightly on idle then sound like they have stalled?

[bwarrrrk]

if only they made models like that. certainly would liven up a layout.

[type2thrash]

FLAMEOUT!!

[theamateurbasher]

0:25 - Hellfire (quite literally)!

[HSTHoward]

amazing

[ALS2001]

Welll, Brush must be the GE of the UK, The GE locomotives in the states LOVE to shoot flames :)

[type2thrash]

The class 31 was built by Brush, with Brush electrical equiptment, but has an English Electric powerunit in it. Similar to the Class 37.

[AndreiTupolev]

I've never heard any AWS sounding like that.

[racey975]

was not the horns it was the aws

[IH6848]

ah the classic stuck horn valve!!

[HSTChris]

WOAH1!!! +fav

[weardaleboy]

f***k wkd kwl nice and the fire alams went to llol

[racey975]

it was not the fire alarms f***ing clever clogs

[ustupidmoose]

dont think that is the fire alarm cleaver clogs

[fgh456pc]

Hmm what a good idea lets start a loco in a shed with no ventilation. Biggest wonder you didn't all suffocate from the fumes! No wonder the fire alarm went off.

[mukkaspec]

That's F***in Great !

[volvomantom]

JESUS!

That flame was fuggin' YOWGE!

[37057viking]

Lets start it up in the shed! Great idea - NOT! So typical of 31s, stuggling to start up!

[theamateurbasher]

Wonder if Zontar had moved his class 31 'catalytic converter experiment' indoors?

"Okay Frank, start her up!"

*Class 31 clag spreads everywhere, fire alarms start ringing*

LOLZ!

[Woolybak8]

I see it even set the alarms off at the end too! 5*

[theamateurbasher]

Good to see 31452 still alive and well; I haven't seen her since I rode in her cab at Crewe works in 2003...

I guess that's a good way to defy the smoking ban, but I hope she didn't set the fire alarms off! LOL

Fantastic stuff, 5*

[moffitt482]

love it 5*
