I'm not entirely sure on how it works but basically it happens when the driver applies too much power so the wheeles lose grip and start spinning freely. It's not that dangerous but it can cause some damage to the rails and you really don't want this to happen when climbing a hill in a train.
Wheelslip occurs when an engine either does not have enough power to pull its load or too much power is applied and it loses friction. When this happens, the engine freely pumps its pistons until either it regains traction, or the engineer lowers throttle and it slows down to regain that traction and then it continues on its merry. Now as to if its dangerous, its only harmful to the track and the engines wheels causing serious damage if prolonged. But yeah, thats about it on wheelslip.
did nobody notice the fact that thomas made a little cameo in the background at 0:21 and no I do not meant LMS Ivatt idling there I'm talking about a loco next to it
This one seems to be a very charming city, I hope I can visit again sometime in the future when all this is over. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much!
