- Two sister locomotives are re-united at Northampton & Lamport Railway. A "Welcome home" gala sees two BRUSH type2 Class 31 601 "Devon Diesel Society" and 31 289 "Phoenix" put together to haul a passenger train from the new Boughton railway station, up the hill to just beyond Bridge 13. I join the diesel crew for a cab-ride in the leading locomotive which happens to be the new arrival.
Thank you to all the volunteers who helped me created a mega episode for everyone. Coming soon to PurpleVision.
Volunteers are highly sought after, so if you feel like volunteering at this rapidly expanding railway then more information can be found on the website nlr.org.uk/.
Shout out to Hellfire T.V @hellfiretvmh I'm sure he'll like this one.
Hi purple x co 😊 catching up on vids now im back😊looked a great day out👍👍👍
Ah Keith it was mega mate. Dave Chambers sent me on a mission so I went full for it
Nice one! Lucky bugger you ☺️
I know right. I'm looking forward to seeing you legends at Northampton ironstone railway this Sunday
I had the biggest grin on my face ever.
I drove 289 on the sunday double header, what a thrill!
Yhhhhh that'll do bro. I wish I could have seen your face 😀
'Thrill' and Li'il Stinker -a.k..a 31 really don't belong in the same sentance ! They were better double-headed.......needed one to push ' other! Funny thing is , in preservation they don't seem to gas you as when under B.R. Better set up , methinks , by folks who care more. Had a fitter at Peak Forest who couls sort 'em , and what a difference. Eastern region fog factories ! To be fair, I only ever failed with one once, out of many hundreds of hours on type. That was a flashover, but being ouble-headed , a quick control cut out , and off we trotted with the rear engine . No drama .
A certified engine to say “My lordzz!!” to, top performer yesterday, if only my photos didn’t corrupt :(
Oh no Dom. I'm sorry to hear that bud. I know exactly how that feels bro. HELLFIRE T.V shared this video so it got his approval
awesome video mate sadly i was going to go today but due to the wether i couldn't go such a shame
Yh it was bad today. Real. Bad
Lovely bit of 'Ped' noise mate....
Beautiful ain't it
Got myself some great 31 thrash footage at GCR last Saturday...
nice
Seems like you were luckier than me with 601! I got denied a cab ride when I asked, still had a great day today though.
It was mega mate. A real good way of welcoming her to the railway
At around 2:47, any idea why the combined section/distant signals are both on, and why they just passed it without stopping?
Pass
Wonder why two tokens are needed for both engines ?
Because they'll be separated by the time they return to Boughton
