pH Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Have a look at this video from 9:15 onwards - is this the highest power-to-weight ratio ever on a coal train? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vO7wkqqYeCo or has someone done a very nice bit of editing?

Baby Deltic Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Looking at the clip you can see loads of hoppers behind the loco's as it approaches. Its a very lucky cut and shut.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might like these two videos, then. Taken on the same hill, which is about 1 in 35. (The second one takes a bit of time to get going). In the first one, the F-unit was having problems, and so wasn't helping too much. The second one was taken the day after the first - they added the Geep for insurance. Edit - sorry, I included the wrong video as the first one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
