Super power without a garratt

[Sir haydn]

Today we went to terry pearces fiskerton light railway and decided to hang some weight on the back of some locos....













Thats...

3 locomotives......7 driven axles, 2 trailing axles
40 items of rolling stock, 109 axles

The train did at least 9 laps of the layout before being broken back up into smaller trains

[taliesin001]

Wow, bet the locos made nice sounds with that weight!

[MDLR]

Oh, Mother!!

[Dr. Bond of the DVLR]

Phuar! quite incredible. I'd have thought the whole train could have keeled over and fell off the track on the curves...

[SLRmidge]

Amazing
Could have ended in disaster with a derailment

[laalratty]

Damn and blast, I'm pretty sure that beats anything the NWAG has done, me and the PTLR crew will just have to try harder. We've had 51 vehicals in a train before but all bar one of them were four wheelers. Certainly a interesting mix of rolling stock though!

Ah but what about that one at the PTLR okay it was only 50 vehicles but it was only one loco pulling it all!

[mhlr]

Yeah but Paul, those are only 2 lickle Corris locos, so would probably be about the same pulling power as 1 ie the Earl!

Seriously impressive, I doubt we could even find that amount of stock in our local group

[Sir haydn]

ahh, most of my wagons and coaches are lead weighted to a scale weight. the wagons where all weighted and loaded. so it weight alot!

[MoelygestLR]

fair enough!
okay well and truly beaten!

We will come back though! bigger stronger and better!

[LMS-Jools]

Impressive, is the line level all way ?

There seems to be a steamy in the background missing out  :P

seems to be "fairlie" miffed at being left out too
