Freightliner 70006 fails in the loop at Pilning with lots of smoke!!!!!

[MrZkr123]

i know its a malfunction but it kinda makes it look tougher in the smoke

[350LMDesiro]

Driver doesn't seem too concerned so as ACTraction said prob just a rheostatic failure!

[iib8903]

@350LMDesiro being as he was there for ages and kept getting in and out looking underneath and in the engine room etc he probably was concerned lol

[350LMDesiro]

@iib8903 Ahh you missed that out of the video so my mistake lol

[Pete4000uk]

[gavin37688]

They really are pieces of crap and damn ugly to boot lol 70015 popped at arpley this afternoon thats the 4th ugly duck in the last couple of months thats failed!

[iib8903]

@gavin37688 hahahaha send them to poland bring the 66s back

[gavin37688]

@iib8903

Jesus no send all gm and other american loco's to europe and bring real english loco's back! A freightliner 60 would be nice but not at the price db was selling them at they obviously didn't really wana sell the 60's off! Bring back freightliner spoons atleast they were more reliable and didn't ying ying:):)

[WindwardRailway]

@iib8903 Bring 66's back, they haven't got rid of any!

Silly diesel thinks it's a kettle.

[iib8903]

@megatrollsecurity hmm maybe its train sexually frustrated lmao

[AndreiTupolev]

Oh deary me, what happened there then?

(Some might say typical GE behaviour ....)

[iib8903]

@AndreiTupolev very much so by the sounds of it!

[veolia215]

Ow dear lol. Hopefully Freightiner will fix this quickly. Thank you for uploading this.

[iib8903]

@veolia215 It limped to Stoke Gifford yard under its own power after a long wait in the loop, when I got to Stoke Gifford there were fitters looking at it!

[EWS60500]

Looks like one of the traction motors has gone. Rare catch mate, I though these american beasts were reliable, cos the ones over in the US are reliable as hell, like the ES44's

[iib8903]

@EWS60500 Thanks mate :)
