if u stop on a gradiand on train sim or rail sim and your fireing and you stop i find that if you keep fireing untill and build the preshure up to just under the red mark then relese the brakes and open the regulator that should get you going again but still keep fireing when going up the grade and whach y water
I see,they had to do an emergency stop due to a fence being tangled round one of the carriages.Then to get some heat up due to there having just been a load of coal put on before the stop they whacked the blower on to get the fire up and clear the black smoke and when all was done off they went,I thought they stopped rather quickly for "Run out of puff" scenario! Good restart though!!
I cant beleive I missed the last SVR gala that this was at. I saw it at the Doncaster 150 event and it was in BR green but did it go to the Great Gathering in Crewe in 2005?
Well it wasn't a blow up cause he had steam cause she blows off. I think it was the engine wasn't going fast enough to attack the 1/49 and with 7 boogie's on. Brilliant vid.
Hate to break it to ya but you're wrong, we couldve attacked it at any speed and got up, as shown by how easily it starts the train off again. How about reading the other comments about what happened before shooting your mouth off?
What the hell? do you know nothing about firing a steam engine? having a massive fire in like that, working the engine that hard, then having to stop like this, it wouldve been almost impossible for us to clear the smoke, and we had more pressing issues.
We spent the last Sunday of the first weekend of action with GA storming the bank whilst recording for a DCC sound project, the driver did not let us down, it caught the linesiders out, we could see them all scrambling for their cameras, Next thing we heard was GA out of action for the following weekend.
Great day spent on the LNER invalide car drinking bottles of Timothy Tailors. Soaking up the sun listening to the beat of GA.
About time the NRM or SteamRailway magazine started a fund to purchase a new cylinder casting for Green Arrow. I can't understand how enthusiasts can get together countless thousands for other "worthwhile" projects, yet write this off as a no hoper.
The simple answer is, no one's trying. If I was a millionaire I would have given them the money.
it wasnt really overfiring, the fireman had just put a round on ready for the 1in49 climb and then he had to make an emergancy stop so all of that coal he had just put on never caught alight so hence the black smoke.
Correct me if I am wrong...(I know little about firing..the only steam engine i've driven was a couple of 5" guage ones when I was a kid) but is the smoke due to the fire having had a lot of coal put on, but then the draft removed because of stopping? So fire then doesn't burn as efficiently?
@edj66 No, but i was on the footplate and had a fire later on. You are exactly right in what you say, not enough oxygen to make the fire burn efficiently, As you can see the smoke is a correct grey as they come up to stopping, then the regulator is shut and BAM! Black smoke :)
Nice video thanks and a lovely engine indeed - but we dont call 1 in 49 a bank here - anyone seen shots of 4472 back in 1989 climbing 1 in 40s and 1 in 33s aided by Australia's own 3801?
A fence had got caught on the rear coach as the loco passed the locomotive sheds, which had been trampled on the previous night of a certain GM's army of photographers photographing 3 A4's. Someome noticed it and pulled the emergency cord, hence the stop. The fence was removed and 4771 was on her way.
Why did it stop? plus i love it restarting because of the nosie it makes :)
