Where to start with this one.. 90047 hauling a real mixed bag just as it's going dark through Stafford!
We see 90047 with a freshly painted 66509, followed by a series of graffiti sprayed hopper wagons acting as barrier braking coaches for a brand new Class 197 unit - 197006..!! A rare and very random combination/convoy!
6Q97 Wolverton Centre Sidings to Crewe Basford Hall
That livened up a quiet evening!
Hope you enjoy the video! Thanks for watching

Nice to see a video of a move I had a hand in planning! The outward run took 90016 for repaint and 66509 has just come out from the paintshop, and the 197 needed taking away from Wolverton so we thought why not kill 3 birds with 1 stone!

@trainsplanes Год назад

Good planning I’d say 👍👍👍

Are the coal wagons the same wagons that were taken out of York yard last week?

@martinjh999 Год назад

@317 Dan Are Freightliner changing their livery then?? Much prefer the old one (like that other 66 on the other line) although I'm sure the new one will grow on me!

@shanestephens2877 Год назад

@@martinjh999 Yep the colours of the parent company and IMO looks bloody disgusting.

@jonathanbutson1385 Год назад

the wagons are probably for brake force. When moving a DMU in a freight train the DMUs brakes aren't compatible with freight train brakes, so they usually are isolated, with extra vehicles added to the consist to ensure it has enough braking.

@spencerhardy8667 Год назад

As they say about railway modelling, you can make something absolutely precise to the photographic record... Or you can do what you want, and someone somewhere will have proof that it happened.

That 66 was freshly painted I think, and I'm guessing that 197 needed dragging so they multitasked the-also wierd seeing a 90 pulling something which isn't an intermodal

The 66 was indeed fresh out of the paint shop - It’s all been lumped together as one very unique movement. Good to see 👍

It's state of the art in Germany to tow a heavy, "dead" train with fright-cars to help breaking!

@eeclass20 Год назад

The brand new unit in the consist will not have operating brakes, the coal hoppers will be providing braking power. The class 90 will probably come off at Crewe and the diesel continue towards Wales.

@marcusdamberger Год назад

I'm from the U.S., fascinating mixed bag of a trainset. However, the passenger multiple unit, it's doors don't line up well with the platform here. They seem too high. Are the platforms in Wales higher up than in this part of the U.K.? If so, what do they do about long distance trains, how to they accommodate the different platforms heights? I know in the U.S. there are a few lines like this, but the passenger cars have some high doors and low doors to accommodate the different platform heights, but this is all on one commuter line usually specific to that service.

@PoxyMoxon97 Год назад

Nice capture - it isn't a fright move but a unit drag / delivery, the wagons are there as break force for the unit. I would have ventured out to Wolverton if I weren't busy - very interesting to see a set of doors weren't fully closed, I knew they had issues with doors befote they departed.

@stephenparker6476 Год назад

Well said I agree with you not a freight movement New unit being delivered

@stephensmith4480 Год назад

It makes me wonder, if the hoppers were purely for Brake force, why was there 5 of them in rear? unless they were the only wagons available and they just left them together.

@petec2583 Год назад

@@stephensmith4480 The auto brake has to be operational on the last vehicle in the train as per the rule book. I believe Freightliner require it to be operational on the last 3 minimum.

@stephensmith4480 Год назад

@@petec2583 I`m not sure what the standard is for Freightliner, I thought it was a Network Rail group standard for everyone being the same. Although the requirement is to only check the Tail lamp Vehicle during the Brake test, the wording of the Rule Book changed to Having The Minimum Brake force in rear as required. Still makes me wonder why there were 5 vehicles in rear if it was purely for Brake force unless as I said, they just happened to be together, I know I wouldn`t split them and I have been doing it for 33 years.

Yep a different it was a different consort ,, maybe the passengercars had some flat tryes by the sound of it .. you could hear it in both parts of the video's. Good to see that they are putting headlights on trains in the U.K. finally. How many (if anyone knows) of them diesel 66 class engines were made ? Cheers from John in Australia

@UKHeritageRailways Год назад

Approximately 690 of which the UK has around 480.

@EssexGayBoi Год назад

@HyperBlueWolf Год назад

GBRf tried to buy some new Class 66 in 2017, but new UK emission regulations stopped them from placing an order. In the end they had to buy old class 56 locomotives and upgrade them to class 69 instead (because it was cheaper than developing new locomotives).

@1701_FyldeFlyer Год назад

Surprised the train even moved considering the carriage door was open!

@najaB76 Год назад

The unit would have been dead though so the door interlock wouldn't be active.

@darrenwilliams118 Год назад

The unit is unbraked hence the wagons for brake force. What I am concerned about is the open doors would take the unit out of gauge.

@olly5764 Год назад

I suspect the 66 is there to take the train somewhere without wires, possibly not very far, the unit is in transit, of course. Locos normally need the train to do the majority of the braking, and I suspect they probably can't operate the brakes on the unit from the loco meaning the wagons are there for braking power.

@shauntakata1762 Год назад

When they do a load like that, do they get charged for all of the axles? I mean does whoever bought the train have to pay for delivery including all axles of the train? Did they do that because the brake systems are not compatible?

66509 wasn’t running however the class 66 behind on the Garston Intermodal was so it probably gave that impression. 👍

@neilcrawford8303 Год назад

Like the deliveries of 777s they use wagons as both coupling translator vehicles and to provide brake force. That DMU would be treated as unbraked through piped, so would need sufficient amount of vehicles behind it to provide the required brake force to stop in the unlikely event that the train split.
