rhf19 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 The ETH index of those 12 Mk1s/Mk2 is in the mid 40's. It may not have been freezing but the draw is likely to have required enough juice to keep it above idle. If it had been a 37 then I think that I would preferred it to have been on full whack but a 47 sounds so naff to either an A3 or EE When supplying ETH a 47s raises it's engine speed by a fixed amount, can't recall what the rise in rpm is. Classes 33 and 50 also do this, unlike classes 31 and 37 where the idle speed of the engine is dependent on ETH load. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Barry O Posted February 25, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 25, 2016 well it has taken a long time and a lot of money to get it to run the way it does now.... which might be why the thread has this title Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Y Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 The loco seems to be running very well so I don't understand the title of the thread. "how not to overhaul a loco" It was appropriate for the time, there's a more current topic here http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/103992-flying-scotsman-back-on-the-mainline-2016/ (but I expect you know that).
