RMweb Premium Gary H Posted March 5, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 5, 2014 I notice the far superior and premier traction is coupled inside. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted March 5, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 5, 2014 I notice the far superior and premier traction is coupled inside. An interesting point - I like it. But it would be interesting to learn how much a 70 could get over Woodborough without being overpowered or slipping to a stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it would be interesting to learn how much a 70 could get over Woodborough without being overpowered or slipping to a stand. It would be a good comparison trial. The 59 has a very similar starting TE figure, on one tinternet page Ive seen, the figure is almost the same at 122K but Wiki has it lower than that. But as we know, its what both loco's can put down continuously that matters. On paper the 70 should just take the title but I doubt there'd be a lot in it, atleast there shouldn't be!! Anyway, my comment was a little tongue in cheek. I like the 59 as it holds one of the most successful diesel engines ever built, the EMD 16-645E which is also fitted to one of the most successful locomotives ever built, the EMD SD40-2 - luv em to bits, fantastic machine.

RMweb Gold Dunsignalling Posted March 6, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 6, 2014 your right here there is a likeness maybe the 70's should be called... Trotters' or Dellboys Unfortunately, that's not the sort of Reliant the Trotters had. Theirs was a Regal Supervan, a completely different shape to the later Robin...........

Iron Horse Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Got 70805 on 6M50/6V46 today Thanks for posting that Jim, my Mum has just passed away after a long illness and I've been trying to get my Dad's interest in trains back again. I gave him the times and told him to go and see something new and colourful and he actually saw you go through Radley............Good job you were held at Didcot though!!!!!!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gerbil-Fritters Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 I'm happy to refer to a class 70 as a 'Regal Supervan', or just supervan for short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold big jim Posted March 6, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted March 6, 2014 a more substantial load tonight..... also as requested this is the drivers desk which puts me in mind of this....... just having a break away from the engine again before we head back to hinksey (where it will also pick up 70804) 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Gary H Posted March 6, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 6, 2014 Those screens are very similar to their big brothers, the ES44AC's. They can show (amongst many other bits of real time information) what TE the loco is putting down at any given speed and throttle setting. Would be interesting to see some numbers Jim.

RMweb Gold Ramblin Rich Posted March 6, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 6, 2014 (edited) So, Jim - does this mean you go all Smashy when asked to move a heavy load, push the throttle open & say "You ain't seen nothing yet....Let's Rock!" Slightly off-topic - I saw a 56 on a log train being loaded in Exeter Riverside yard today wasn't aware of this happening before. Do you have any further info - is it a temporary run instead of Heathfield while the Dawlish line is repaired? EDIT - answered my question when I found Captain Kernow's thread on the subject Edited March 6, 2014 by Ramblin Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium newbryford Posted March 6, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 6, 2014 a more substantial load tonight..... also as requested this is the drivers desk And then if you turn around, the main control circuit breaker is something out of Dr Frankenstein's laboratory (or at least it was when I had a good mooch around 70005) Cheers, Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
