00:00 - 00:03 | Now that Steamrail has restored the A2 |
00:04 - 00:05 | to operating condition |
00:05 - 00:07 | the RTBU must approve what routes |
00:08 - 00:12 | we are prepared to run it. |
00:12 - 00:15 | Here are some possibilities. |
00:17 - 00:19 | We'll just run it to Deni. |
00:19 - 00:21 | Turn it there, I don't like Tender First running. |
00:24 - 00:26 | The Turntable |
00:27 - 00:28 | The Deni Table has |
00:31 - 00:33 | The Table is to be Removed. We will have to return |
00:34 - 00:36 | Tender First. |
00:53 - 00:58 | All RTBU Heritage committee members not steam qualified leave now |
01:13 - 01:15 | Bloody DOT |
01:15 - 01:17 | What are they thinking |
01:18 - 01:23 | They know we need Turntables |
01:25 - 01:28 | They seem to be hell bent on ripping out Heritage infrastructure |
01:29 - 01:31 | Most other tables are booked out |
01:31 - 01:34 | My neck will be sore |
01:34 - 01:37 | Looking backwards all that way |
01:37 - 01:40 | And the Coal dust blowing in my eyes |
01:40 - 01:42 | Vline has issued us with Safety Glasses |
01:42 - 01:46 | I wont look like a real engine driver |
01:46 - 01:48 | I wear them all the time |
01:48 - 01:52 | You couldn't drive a nail straight |
01:53 - 01:54 | Wern't you at the sparks for 25 years |
01:56 - 01:57 | You're nothing but a glorified lift driver |
01:57 - 02:00 | What do you know of momentum running to ease your firemans workload |
02:00 - 02:03 | Am I the only one that understands the complexities |
02:04 - 02:08 | of running 100 year old rolling stock |
02:08 - 02:13 | on modern infrastructure |
02:14 - 02:16 | We need more turntables not less |
02:17 - 02:21 | We should but work bans on and bring DOT to their knees |
02:27 - 02:29 | When I saw the video of the A2 |
02:30 - 02:34 | Steaming up and down the yard |
02:34 - 02:36 | All I could think about is my hand on the Regulator |
02:41 - 02:42 | and winding the reverser |
02:43 - 02:47 | and moving off in the correct direction |
02:48 - 02:53 | then I read the comments |
02:54 - 02:56 | someone claimed the Valve gear is set backwards |
02:56 - 02:59 | they say forward gear steams the loco backwards |
03:00 - 03:02 | What are we to make of it. |
03:04 - 03:07 | It's OK I'm sure Warren can fix it |
03:14 - 03:16 | We shouldn't crew it |
03:19 - 03:23 | but if we don't |
03:25 - 03:26 | who will |
03:26 - 03:31 | Espee |
03:31 - 03:33 | they don't have the proper accreditation |
03:40 - 03:46 | Tell Steamrail that they will have to run it with another Loco |
03:46 - 03:49 | I would prefer R761 |
03:53 - 03:56 | Push pull mode |
