Light rain: The best weather for a wheel spin… Just wait for the rails to get properly wet, then it’s easy peasy (at least with a tram… ;) ). But of course, a wee bit of oil, and there you go. BTW: Those coaches visible in the beginning of the shot, where can I find more info about them? :)
So, what's funny is that this isn't wheel spin in the conventional sense, they spun because he drove the engine forward (towards 2705). At 1:08, right after the whistle, you can see the linkage below the piston shift backwards and the wheels drive it forward briefly before being shifted forward again. This was probably done to relieve tension on the coupling between the engines and the train for them to undo it.
I know it's been over a year, but I've come to inform you that the linkage you might be referring to is the cylinder cocks. They're opened to let out steam that condensed into water when the locomotive was sitting for a while.
All locomotive and carriage wheels have flanges to keep them on the tracks. The longer the locomotive, the wider the minimum curve it can go around. Only short wheelbases can handle tight curves. This is why you see little 0-4-0 pugs on industrial rail yards and Climax (almost upright cylinder and valve gear) or geared Shay locomotives on twisty logging routes.
@@timpauwels3734 oh! But i once saw a 2-8-0 tender engine make a really tight bend, i dont know how it did it, it was so such a tight bend! How is this possible?

That fireman wants a slap: not looking out whilst approaching a level crossing,(too busy with his lunch) and the slacker hose pipe hanging out cab and dragging on the ground. Get a grip man, you are not on that footplate as a passenger!
+struck2soon Look more closely before stupidly commenting. There's four men on the footplate, the driver, the fireman on the opposite side (see him at 0:25) who actually is looking out as you say he should, and two others. One of those two is just standing around shooting the breeze, and the other is chowing down on his lunch. Looks to me like they _are_ on the footplate as passengers. But you obviously know better, because you were there. Were you there?
The 4-6-0 4236 looks awfully similar to a Castle class from the Highland Railway in Scotland. I don't know anything about Aussie steam but maybe there was some input from Sharp Stewart into the design.
Like Queensland took towards American-like rolling stock, Victoria a heavy English (specifically Nigel Gresley influence) with a few tweaks, and than there is also South Australia whom had a mix of both.
The need relatively big wheels to allow for the connecting rods, push rods etc. to have enough space. And spoked wheels are mugh lighter than an equivalent solid wheel
Steel on steel and wet too very slippery! A steam loco has a lot of power even at low speed ie moving off, so on wet rails, driver needs to be very gentle with the throttle.
0:21 operating a steam engine while enjoying a delicious subway, what a life
I am happy to see that Australians like their heritage railways so much
1:10 is when it starts to wheel spin
Thanks, I was trying to find it
AMG Alex thank you
AMG Alex I tried to find it
AMG Alex thx
God dawn
Train Simulator is over here like "wheel spin -1000 points"
Speeding at 125mph glitch... -99999999 points
That sandwich looked tasty.
lol

I remember that day. James was trying to pull me back to tidmoth shed. I think at one point a troublesome truck leaked some bushing oil into the rail.

I want the sandwich and it looks tasty
Leave it to the Aussies to start ripping skids in a train.
Ya mate give me a high five
Brock Walls haha Aussie Aussie Aussie OI OI OI!!
When you're at a stop light and you give it too much gas on the restart.
great looking pair of steamers!
This comment reads so funny out of context
Locomotive’s got a 392 Hemi in it. It’ll do 0-60 in 3-5 business days
Harambe Jr. xD
That description is amazing 0-60 I’m 3-5 business days
392 does 0-60 in like 4 seconds...
And that's where you're wrong...

Guy in the cab: *enjoying his sandwich*
People: ah yes,quality content
Huh I didn’t know trains could do burnouts
Well now you do
Imagine the torque on that thing, enough to push hundreds of thousands of pounds. Boggles the mind
All these comments calling "wheel spin" a "burnout" make me cry
came for the wheel spin stayed for the subway sandwich 10/10 content would recommend
That burger looks nice !!
A Soviet SANDWICH you mean
Throwback Trumpeter,a burger still counts as a sandwich
@@Chadmiral But it specifically refers to a hamburger sandwich.
I thinks it’s a wrap actually
What a beautiful setting of steam engines 🚂🚃🚃🚃
Damn it Dave you forgot to turn on the traction control
trainction control
lolololol
When i got off my train back to Bridgnorth SVR, 75069 was being moved and it wheelspun a hell of a lot, though sadly I didn’t film it
Hunter is a lovely locomotive with that maroon paint , very smart
Thats one cool locomotive i thought steam was no longer in use
you livin in a rock to not know aussie has many steam locos?
This is the beauty of all wheel slips
How do these locomotives make it around the bends? All the wheels look like they have flanges

These engines are to small to need blind wheels. Only 2-10-0s and the big American heavies really need them.
that electric steam turbine for the headlamp is so loud
Woah I watched this several months ago before I had a TH-cam account and it's only just now appearing in my reccomended list
Is it always fucking raining in the UK?
Beautiful locomotive though.
ironically this video is on aussie

Alright Mr Arm Chair Warrior
More than just an Armchair Warrior: see my upload "Footplate ride Levisham to Goathland"...I actually do have a clue what I am talking about!
oh shut up

It's Australia, give em a brake..
If this train could talk I can imagine it was like
"AH FOR FUCK SAKE NOT AGAIN! BOB WHERE'S MY RAIL SKATERS."
Hunter: oh great the tracks are wet
( wheels spon a bit )
Hunter: “c’mon let’s get going fatty”
What's with the distance between the 2nd and 3rd drive wheels?
Boy howdy, that was exciting.
Everyone:wheelslip
Me:that sandwich looks cool
Was that an error on the part of the first loco?
Was it struggling to move that loco
In America we don't see this that often because stupid diesels and their wheels are almost completely covered up
Was this in Australia?
of course, how cant you tell theres a big NSW writting on hunters name?
@@voidjavelin23 my dingus brain was learning geography
This is what happens when you eat lunch on the job.
The camera work deserves an Oscar or was it the Golden Lemon. Get an tripod and take an course at the community college for filming
Wheel spin at 1:10
I see them doubleheading
I thought the video was filmed in the uk
Burnout without smoke, no.
Did this use an internal walschaerts valve or a stephenson valve?
Was that a Fenway Frank dude was eatin?

Glorious.....

I wouldn’t doubt it, in Australia’s steam days a lot of the designs were either influenced by England or the US depending on state.
Like Queensland took towards American-like rolling stock, Victoria a heavy English (specifically Nigel Gresley influence) with a few tweaks, and than there is also South Australia whom had a mix of both.
Little dudes love it. Awe sunss
WHere is this?
Why steam locos have spoked wheels?
The need relatively big wheels to allow for the connecting rods, push rods etc. to have enough space. And spoked wheels are mugh lighter than an equivalent solid wheel
hunter be lookin like a BR 38
where was this
When was this made
These are Australian trains from New South Wales, right?
Yes, NSWGR 32 and 27 class.
1:11 has the wheel train is fast in. what is going on the train from? driver has fail XD
I was wondering why British engines would be modern enough to have air brakes and electric lights and then I realized this is Australia.
hunter lookin british
Hi you two!
Are you playing tank engine
From which country it is ?
the land of spider that is australia
But does it reach 88mph? I’m looking for one
No thsi one only goes to 70-80
The train red looks like a old Australia train
The guy eating the donut lol
Australia, I Know That Place To, Just Cant Think ATM, When I Went Their 2705 was black.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HARRY
0:32 lets all stop to think that the man eating looks like filthy frank.
wheelslip?
Dead Centre perhaps?
I WAS THERE
“Give ‘er some throttle.”
“This isn’t a Trueno, this is a seam engine-“
“THROTTLE. IT.”
There's no point of pulling the train backwards if you are going to go forwards
+Merlin and Murdoch Fan 783 they are uncoupling from the carriages, so need to shove back a little to take the tension off of the couplings.
So did they die?
What no
Steam engines are cool and all, but my favorita part was 0:20
What I see is a boiler on wheels.
It's the sandwich that's eatable, not the paper.
He has not eaten for a week by the look of it.
Nossa que trem com rodas pequenas mais qual é o nome?
O nome é Hunter
@@davidantoniocamposbarros7528 ata
You can’t do a burnout in a locomotive. Hold my beer
With the soaked rails, and the heavy load, a wheel spin was bound to happen.
The boys in that loco
Istimewa.. 😄😄👍👍
Why does the standing guy at 0:22 look like he's never seen someone eat a sandwich before? ;)
Cool
the wheel spin is sexy
norflett gĺ
You are Loco perv :v
yes it is
I can't even imagine what that would look like.
...
responseless comment
Is that Donald and Douglas from Thomas and Friends?
Cyber Orion no these are australian locomotives
609tw1ss anims Ah
Is that England?
No
you can tell this is aussie by looking at the goddamn NSW writting
Wow! Look at that steel-out.
i didnt knew vrdc existed in the 1900s
0:22 guy eating a sandwich
what country was this I think its you know that country down under cant spell the name
Australia, trains are from the state of New South Wales
you can tell this is australia by the NSW writting on hunters name
Hunter is having some faulty issues.
Steam power is amazing
1:10 Sorry i was paying attention to my *SANDWICH*
I'm not the one for AUS trains, But they look nice!
where are you from?
Uk
+00MentoFan should come down to aust!
i could show u around
no i think the streamline 38s were original
Hunter more like shunter
Wow keren
It's called wheep slip,
im surprised no one knows its wheelslip

Zack Bobby nope d&d are scottish locomotives
