Railroader myself (in America) and this whole coupling procedure just looks so dangerous. And yet, basically the whole world still uses this style of hook couplers, at least on occasion. I don't get it. Since I'm used to knuckle couplers, this whole procedure breaks virtually every safety rule I've learned when it comes to handling and coupling cars and engines. Not to mention it just looks insanely inefficient considering you have to do this every time you want to couple.
Just love the sound of a GM710 winding up!
Great video Jack, always love watching your vids
This was set during the November-December 2018 diversions, and the driver who was driving 67028 was Doncaster-based Nicholas Wilson.
Excellent as always!
Love Train Class 67
I used to Couple locomotives on&off.
this video was very helpful because i was building a 67 and i had better angles from this video
Nice one mate :)
Colleagues of mine doing a great job.
If that were me i wouldnt be complaining, deisel and still 125mph!
Exellent
Why didn’t they use the buckeye couplings? I know 91s have them and so do 67s
67s don't have buckeye, they have a combination knuckle which is not the same thing so the only solution is use a screwlink as they did.
So are couplings standardized then ?
ETH socket not looking good on that 91.
I don't think I'd want to lace up a 100 car train in Europe.😉
We should have switched to the USA/Janney coupling decades ago.

I forgot how ugly the class 67 was.
