RMweb Premium skipepsi Posted April 9, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 9, 2011 I seem to remember something about wheelslip previously on here but I do not know the title for the topic or any more than that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

D605Eagle Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 IIRC it was in America and it was a radio controlled loco got stuck and fused its control circuits and just sat there slippinmg for hours Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Kris Posted April 10, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 10, 2011 It was Wheel slip. As Mick said it was on here or the previous version of the forum some time ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium jamie92208 Posted April 10, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 10, 2011 I remember being shown a set of 5 similar but rather smaller marks on the down goods loop at Blea Moor by a kindly driver of a 9F. They had been left by another 9F struggling to restart a heavy northbound train after taking water. Jamie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SNCF stephen Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 this reminds me of something I read in Model Rail years and years ago in Chris Leigh's final word column. It said that someone had broken into a US loco depot and hot wired a loco that was sandwiched between two other parked loco's and then set the throttle to max and left it overnight. The picture showed the track looking similar to this but with a locomotive on top of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 You often see minor examples of this out and about - 'wheel burn'. Minor cases can be removed with a pass of a rail grinder but more major occurances will require rail replacement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve1 Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Unless the picture shows a matching three "burns" behind the camera, then these were created by a 3 axle loco. A shunter then? Looking at the track itself, it isn't UK prototype and, I don't think it's US. Mainline Europe somewhere? steve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southernman46 Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 There is another photo of the entire 6 axle site in existance - I believe it is US in origin. This occasionally does the rounds amongst the NR Track Engineers ! I had an instance whilst TSM at Clapham Junction when a 455 in Plat 3 wheelspun late one afternoon in 2006 and left us with 8 x 10mm deep wheelburns that we had to remove the same night but typically weren't quite covered by a single 60' rail so we ended up installing 4 rails.

sir douglas Posted April 12, 2011 Author Share Posted April 12, 2011 @BR20103. thanks, that third pic is the exact same pic that was on facebook. it was somewhere in a page called canadian railway observations Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve1 Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 I liked the idea of modelling it on a layout...One way would be to have a cut panel of track by the side of the running line with the burns in and a shiny new section of rail in its place. steve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franco Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 There are similar pictures on a french forum in one of them there is a yellow nosed CSX loco (unknown to me)! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
