RMweb Premium Gary H Posted February 20, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 20, 2014 looking forward to getting on the 70s to be honest, with any luck by the time 70802 arrives and is prepped for service then i should be able to drive it off the docks! going to be intestesting to compare them to a 66 on the various trains Can you compare the two though Jim? They should blow them clean out the water according to the specs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium newbryford Posted February 20, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 20, 2014 Can you compare the two though Jim? They should blow them clean out the water according to the specs. From my lineside view, the 70 is noticeably quicker than a 66 passing me on a 1 in 120 with 2000Te on the hook - and it sounds better!

RMweb Gold big jim Posted February 20, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 20, 2014 i recon i should be able to compare them quite easily, after driving 66s for so long i have a good idea of what sorts of speeds i pass certain places with certain trains, similarly with throttle positions, getting one on the logs will be interesting to see how it goes up gresford bank with a loaded train, similarly shap with an empty one its not just performance that i will be comparing but driver comfort, sound, vibration etc i'm training on them the week after next so hopefully i can get on one pretty soon with a train 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
