Title: Steamer
Post by: danzigfan on 23 May 2011, 07:57:09
I had arround 150 visiters from England yesterday on a steam train. Only could took 3 pictures of it because they were very old and helping them took me too much time.

Nobody likes steamers from my coworkers, so I choose to work there as a passenger "safety boss" as a relaxation

4 wheel coaches are interesting.

Middle sized loco at 1500hp similar to a Hall or Black 5 in power.

Our biggest push out over 3000 dbhp (LMS Duchesses, LNER A1, LNER A4, BR 8P, BR 9F for definate Merchant Navy possible).

As noted me only have one really powerful frieght loco

Oliver Cromwell, very nice loco. The last Steam train to operate a passenger service in the UK.

I have thrown a few shovels of coal on that one!

It was just warming up when I saw it, the loco plus about 10 coaches was being pulled by what looked like 37 over towards Maylebone. Very nice looking and sound even when just idling!
