Engine power is amazing Great video - thanks
Fantastic machine!
Very interesting! It's like someone pushed an EMD AAR stand on its back and made it a desktop control stand, complete with Bakelite throttle handle!
Oh my goodness. Didn’t realise they had trains in Ireland. How quaint.
I miss the sound of the Baby GM's. I grew up beside the line in Shankill and watched work the commuters before electrification. Even after that they double headed the Wexford express. The sound of my childhood :)
Irony: watching a video of a train ride when riding the train.
That must be what like the branch lines were back in the day
Thanks guys
Great video lovely loco
On this occasion it had been arranged before hand as part of the ITG's event at Downpatrick, you could still try your luck though, the staff can be agreeable.
Love the sound of that 567 power plant. GM had a winner with that one. We had a lot of engines here in the US with that prime mover as well. Some of that track towards the end of the video looks like you could put a train on the ground pretty easily. Hope they're working on that.
great video
Love it.
very nice! interesting to watch
Wow! Never seen a GM throttle turned on its side and shoved into the dash like that!
Love the sound of a 567!!
All I can say is "thats a great vid"
what a great video, nice to see what driving is like over there! are these diesel electric?
Thanks Mike, yes it is a GM diesel electric locomotive.
@Leadplug How do you know it's not one of those mongrel things that sticks and needs to be handled with some force to prevent getting three when you only wanted one.....had that happen plenty of times.
@EWS60008 Maybe when 146 returns to service you can apply for a cab ride if the Downpatrick Railway restart that offer!
I really ought to get over there and sample Mick rail
Dose the yellow button really have a label "button" at 00:39
mighty stuff
@Rocketboy1950 Thanks for the video share, that sure sounds very similar, and much louder! I wish they'd get a new life, as the small Irish GMs are effectively retired now.
Whats the bell? Is it a vigilance alarm?
Hi I’m 28 and wanting to become a train driver, can anyone give me some helpful insight to how I go about this ?
why has he got a BR high vis?
Nice one m8!
Thanks!
@IrishRail123 Beyond the cutting I think(!)
for what is the ringing bell at 2:06?
Robert W. ... i believe it is the AWSA for the next signal.
No. Vigilance bell.
triver bro Biting 😊😊😊😇😇😇😇😇
Where are ( were) these built ??
General Motors at La Grange, Illinois, USA, in 1962.
Just after the cutting, slippy track due to weeds.
Sounds just like the ones I used to drive. There was a bit of a rumour that some of your retired dogbones were coming over here for a new life.
Driver forgets to take off the locomotive brake at the beginning..
I wonder in which place they crashed it lol....
Wow I've never seen inside a cab only on my dad simulator pitted i m to you to drive :'(
What's the constant clicking tik tok noise?
P
it needs more coal lol
Dose the yellow button really have a label "button" at 00:39
Thats probably the aws thing
141s didn't have AWS, I think it's the valingance override or something
oh rite
