Also retired but used to driving slam doors, 442s, 158/159s, 170s & Disastros. I can't imagine what it's like to stop a steam hauled train with a vacuum brake. Especially approaching the stop blocks at a terminus.
Your title is very misleading as that engine was not being thrashed at all! There is a significant difference in an engine being driven hard & then being thrashed, the latter certainly not being the case here!
What's everyone's problem with the title? It's a well-known expression among train enthusiasts, meaning that we'll get some entertainment in the video. That's all.
It sounded normal and really not a 'thrash' nor 'trash', but just an enthusiastic crew, and observing the preserved lines speed limit of 25mph! Take it from me as an ex: BR fireman I know too well if an engine is being 'abused'. These BR Standard Class 2's were a cracking engine.
Sounded pretty well driven to me
As a retired BR driver I would say nothing wrong with the crew driving that loco definitely not being thrashed misleading title

@@kristinajendesen7111 hi it’s abit like stopping with auto brake on the slam door stock 👍🏻
No 'thrashing' there. Its being driven well on a slightly rising gradient. Been linked up and allowed to run a bit :)

Thank you! I'm glad someone understands 😊
Thrash, as in railfan speak of being driven to effect, not meaning badly. Hoping to see some ‘thrash’ at the GWSR steam gala tomorrow!
Perhaps written by someone who is not a qualified engineman.
I don't know the route or the load but I wasn't alarmed by anything there. I drive steam on a heritage railway.
Not well written. Why capital all letters?
Click bait title.. No where near thrashing it.. Obviously too young to remember steam on BR.
Not many of us are, doesn’t mean he’s wrong though
Oh yes ‘ thrash’ , at 25 mph😂
A short but quintessential trip on the Wirksworth branch. The BR class 2 on the front has a GW whistle, a sound to gladden the heart!
That's just standard loco driving. You should have seen some BR drivers in the 1960's
Can’t see anything wrong with that.
Sounds good to me. Least said about the title and lack of information, the better.🤣
You lot are so pedantic and petty, just shut up and enjoy the video. If you have nothing nice to say, don’t say anything at all
Thank you!!
Well driven, I would say !
Beautiful sounds like the old days
I don't get people's obsession with the title, I read that and just thought 'working it hard!'
An ex BR engine thrashed at 25mph 😂😂😂
"Trotting like a well-bred pony!" No thrash here! 🙂
It is getting to the stage where anything on the internet cannot be trusted
I do miss 78018 at the evr
Listen to Argo Transacord record "Newfoundland Heads the Waverley" to hear what thrashing sound like.
Yes I have that recording
At first I read „trash“ and had no idea what they might have done wrong 😂
I may have a video about trashing a loco, video soon! 🤣

Full forward gear, like driving a car in first gear everywhere. Sounds good but not terribly economical on steam or coal.
@arlosurgenor6588
Precisely that... couldn't have put it better.
What railway is this ? It seems a very fast 25 mph !
Ecclesbourne Valley Railway. It certainly felt very fast! 🤣🤣
Yep, I agree, 👍👍👍
What Heritage Railway is this please ?
Ecclesbourne Valley Railway
Nice video. Thanks. Where was this? Don't hear any 'thrashing'!
Good ride by the sound of it.
Certainly was!
Thanks for watching
Just proper driving, but no hard thrashing! But which railway is this?
Ecclesbourne Valley Railway in Derbyshire.
I thought the crew handled the loco completely, nothing wrong for me.
You know why they said "trash" it made you lot come here and comment lolololol. Yep perfectly normal steam start and run.
Silly misleading title, loco handled well, plenty left.
Was this click bait or ignorance of how locos should be worked?
A term some train enthusiasts use to mean working hard
Someone else earned the DRC.
