The driver brought the throttle up to about 7 and then drops the throttle back to idle.

  • i dont like the new paint should have left it the way it was they are decomisioning them soon which sucks so much i love them engines have a model of the smaller one

  • These Locomotives aren't actually being decommissioned. Its the 141's and 181's that are, NO 071's are marked for scrapping.

  • these engines scared me as a kid.. what you mean by building brakes?

  • In all fairness they scared me too! And the odd time, still have that ability!

    Anyway, by 'Building Brakes' it means bringing the power up (throttle) to create more air/vacuum. Simply you can make more pressure the faster the engine is going.
