Locos Of The Line - Diesel Shunters 

I understand these Dutch shunters are actually class 11’s. They look the same to me. 😉 edit: it’s also in the video. 🙂

Steam or diesel ? (Electrics have similar multiple-working control systems to diesels)

@@steveh4335 And whether they're controlled in multiple.

I think you mean the class 55 Deltic. They have a maximum tractive effort of 50,000 lbf and a starting tractive effort of 30,500 lbf. The 08s have a tractive effort of 35,000 lbf, and the 11s have a tractive effort of 34,900 lbf. So while neither the 08s nor 11s could match the 55s for their maximum tractive effort, (mostly because they could only go 15 to 20 miles an hour, while the 55s could go 100+ miles an hour), they both had a greater tractive effort at starting speeds. Which meant that they could shunt more over shorter distances. You are right, that is a lot of pulling power for engines of their smaller size. I learned a few new things as well. I hope this helps to shed some more light on the specifications of the little engines that are often overlooked. I hope you have a wonderful day. :)

Oil changea !! we had them for years and never did oil changes , just sampled lube oil tested for coolant or fuel dilution , they are tough old things ,just make sure axle boxes and side rods are oiled and don't over speed them , motors don't like it

What?

there's always one saddo !

He lost face after being sent away. Get it?

@@billsmith305 you didn't have a childhood

Even Paxton seems to have no face :")

steam locos were used it was just impractical. but horses were used in smaller yards where having a loco was too expensive to justify.

Horses were still in use in BR into the ate 1950s/early 1960s. One if the last was at Newmarket for moving horse vans. I'm not aware of pinch bars being used in the UK. Some locations used powered capstan to move wagons.

You mean the lube oil priming pump , just pump like hell till there's pressure on the gauge then stand clear while it started , don't forget to pump the fuel up to header tank as well

Yeah I'm wondering that too, i hope they reply or make a video about it

Hi Pete, apologies for missing it out. The original 12049 was purchased by DAY Aggregates at Brentford, South West London, and used to shunt their internal sidings. Sadly 12049 was damaged beyond repair by a fire at Ropley in 2010, and has subsequently been replaced by sister 12082 from Barrow Hill and numbered as 12049.

As Will said, yes, the original 12049 it was burned down In the ropley 2010 fire of the carriage works so was replaced by 12082, however 12082 is now not displaying 12049 but is displaying 12082!

The class 11 designation came later; the original numbers fitted into the same system as steam locos - 1xxxx being diesels just as 3xxxx was SR locos etc

I don't know how much you already know, so apologies for repeating anything you already know. Originally, in 1948, the Class 11 were known as the Class DEJ3, which in 1955 they became the Class D3/8, only to be reclassified as the Class 3/8A in 1962. With the introduction of TOPS they became the Class 11. The numbering system started of with diesels in the 1XXXXX series and electrics in the 2XXXX series sandwiched between the ex-GWR locomotives that retained their pre-nationalisation numbers and the ex-SR locomotives which had 30000 added to their numbers. This numbering system didn't last long as it was soon replaced with the system that started at D1 (later 44001) with diesel locomotives dropping the leading 1 and replacing it with a D. The numbers were issued in sequence to each batch of locomotives, which meant that when the locomotives ordered for a given class ran into the numbers allocated to other locomotives already built or on order, the overlapping locomotives had to be found gaps in the umbeting system. Thus happened to the Class 20 (ordered to replace the Class 17) and the last few Class 47s and what would become under TOPS the Class 25/3. The use of the XX/X in locomotive design actions came from the LNER and denotes a sub-class of locomotives which have some differences from the rest of the class such as no boiler fittings lime a water tank.

Reason why i ask is i remember seeing a diesel mechanical shunter around the same size in australia?

Diesel

HST - class 43

Read up on the incident. 2010, the original 12049 was lost in the fire along with an LSWR Restraunt Carriage and a MK1 BR carriage. The only thing that was repairable was the tender for engine 31806.

Hi there, that loco is 08377

Hi there, Class 11s are Diesel-Electric

The BR Class 08 is apparently very popular on Sodor. Besides Diesel, the other characters who are of the same class are Paxton, Sidney, 'Arry, Bert, and even Dodge and Splatter (their models were damaged after filming, which is why they never appeared again after The Magic Railroad).

I got bad news for you. All LB&SCR E2 tank engines were scrapped. However, there is an initiative to build a new one using original plans.

@@spartangoku7610 I love the idea of building new ones but I know that they will scrap them before I even turn 18 so I could be the fireman in one of them, that would be a dream come true btw do you wanna get a shoutout on my channel, ChubbyBoi360
