Well saved! Funny how everyone start running around frantically when they realise she’s gathering revs a bit quick eh?! Be great to see a video of what’s the little loco is up to these days!!
A diesel running away means that you could even shut off the fuel and it would still run, since the turbo seals are wrecked and thus the engine sucks in its own lubricant oil and runs on that. There aren't many ways of stopping a runaway diesel, best chances are to block off the air intake (but don't even think of doing it with a cloth, it'll just get sucked in) or to stall it, if at all possible.
hahaha, happened to once i new the pump was stuck so i hold on to some tool to loosen up the injectors as picked up speed. just like these guys i wanted to now it it wold pic-up life be for doing the big overheal ( these days its ready and drive's haply over over the tracks)
Nathan O'Connor where the engine goes out of control and spins up until the oil comes up from the sump, gets into the pistons and it all goes up in smoke (ik how old this comment is)
Reminds me of our NB "Tiger" last time it was run. Lots of Easystart!
Thomas was acting very cheeky as sir topum hat tried to throttle him down.
Cool little switch engine.I can't believe its also turbocharged,impressive!!.
if it works it works and that's all that matters, glad you guys could save that poor engine from destruction.

When my boys saw this video they said, "If Thomas the train was a diesel that is how he would look." LOL
talfacprez yes. Yes he would.
The kind of diesel equivalent, that's very true!
sounded like it almost became a run away motor
exactly what I was thinking when they all started running. Yay it runs! oh fuck, it wont turn off....
LOL
yeap,but something was wrong,the sound of the turbo was audible,but a lot of white smoke,Air filter dirty.or bad fuel-

Good save boys😂 thought she was gonna get away on ya lol
Fun to think this loco is still running at the railway
"..uhhhh, is the turbo supposed to spool up at idle?? UH OHHHH!"
Well, there are even lots of 4-cylinder car diesel engines with displacement of 1.6l to 2l, and nowadays most of them are turbocharged.

Soon as it fired i thought it would run away
Boy that one almost got away
It sounded like it was gonna explode
Smookeeeee on the railroadtracks..... fire in the engine! :P
You need a least a board just to choke it off.
ouch!. how you guys manage to stop it?
Tom's working again now isn't it?
looks like a steamer
Nicker knacker purrrrr
0:53 SHES GONA BLOW
was that engine running away then?
what do you mean when you say that the engine was running away?
The reves just keep going up and up until the engine blows up seen it happen a few times now
at that point it's like ...oh shit.
WOULDN'T HAVE WOULDN'T HAVE WOULDN'T HAVE WOULDN'T HAVE WOULDN'T HAVE WOULDN'T HAVE WOULDN'T HAVE WOULDN'T HAVE

No, it wasn't. If it were, you wouldn't have been able to throttle it down but still keep it running.
Almost a runaway.....hehe
it grew legs and ran off......
