to engineers of any kind machinery makes its own music, electronic voices ,musical interludes and multiple shots of the same thing from stupid angles add nothing
So, as these are now owned by Jordan Thompson, does that make these locomotives the Thompson Twins? I'm glad they haven't ended up going for scrap. It will be great to see them in action one day.
Nice to know they have been kept together. I often wonder with the number of locos taken between sites across the UK why more Railways don't build a drop down area for a trailer to reverse into to enable level loading / unloading rather like old railway end loading docks but with track on the top and road vehicles in the 'dock' area.
Railfans in the U.S. call these little locos "critters" -- as in odd, small animals. In the states most of them have been replaced by "Trackmobile" type shunters which can operate on road or rail and do not need runaround tracks. Nice to see these saved.
Well done! These tandem locos are truly a rarity! It would have been a shame to have to send them to scrap. Do let us know when they're up and mobile again, won't you?
very nice save! A Ruston 165DE is a beautiful shunter both to look at and to drive. But the Tandam design looks really unique. It would make a fine collection anywhere and even better when they're both working in time!
A tip o' the hat to that lorry driver, great skills. We were deprived of the 'best bit' though, seeing him reversing the trailer through the narrow gap seen @ 1:25.
Many thanks for your time! I also respect YOU for filming " in all weathers" to bring us updates of the movements on the B& K , I look forward to each and every one of them. Till the next time, take care and stay safe.
Another brilliant video from B&K, I have watched everyone you have made and I feel as though I personally know all your employees lol. the only fault I can find is that as an 83 year old I cannot read as fast as I once could, it would greatly help me and possibly many other viewers if you could leave the captions on a few seconds longer. Once again fantastic work and I hope to come up from Manchester and have a ride on one of your trains,
YT has an option in settings to slow or speed up the video. You can also hit pause. (hit the gear button at the bottom in the video, press playback speed) there is also an option for fine control of speed, but that is rarely needed.
Health and safety with their cursed flashing rear lights. If you didn’t have epilepsy before being trapped behind one of these lorry’s in a motorway tail back, you will after an hour or so. Mind you, it is difficult to see a huge lorry with a locomotive on the back.
Anybody notice the steering trailer tires when the truck was backing up out of the yard through the gate onto the road? There is signs on the back of the trailer warning nearby vehicles about it.
In review it rained in Scotland and nicola is moaning that England has two shunters and Westminster has not sent her 3 brand new eco shunters in compensation
