So went to have a look and it was 'lacking essential fluids'
In this case diesel
Dow!

Image of the driver rolling a 45 gallon drum up the lines swearing profusely comes to mind.

They sent out another engine....we dont store the required quantity of red on site!
It had got 3 miles and done some shunting but it means muggins hear has some big break off fuel filters to change and clean.

The muppets, dont they check the fuel gauge before a journey - does it have a fuel gauge (Or is it a dip stick - or is that just the driver in this case) :-/

Thankfuly its self bleeding tony.
There ia a gauge on the side of the tank and its close to empty ( there will be 44 years of sludge in the bottom)
It was a mainline driver and they are not used to having to check fuel levels themselves

Lol, thats what you think, seen steam locos run out of coal and water before

could be worse, could of been lack of oil! :)
-
Nah, it has run oil pressure switches and water pressure switch which shut down the engine so no worries there

aye its ole school,no crank sensors and whatever sensors and ecu,s and abs ecu,s and motors on the headlights and selector switches and whichever sensors lol,to be fair i love omegas but look in the car chat and its page after page of faults and computer related probs,we havent gone forward if you ask me..bring back points and condensors,cap and leads,if it didnt run youd run out of petrol,yer pump were gone or no spark simples,if it were diesel it just needed diesel and a simple solenoid open on the pump to let it in

If it had of been my dad driving the loco he would of put his feet up and got his newspaper out and a mug of tea and sent the 2nd man to sort it out.... ;D ;D ;D

Funnily enough, thats pretty much what happened

I knew you were involved with a loco but for some reason i presumed it was a steamer & not a denzil.
There's hope for you getting a cortina yet then??? ::)
