Is engine/dynamic braking the reason the locomotive revs up just as it is stopping? Great video, always loved travelling from Cork to Dublin with a 071 hauling.

[@RYNT1157]

No dynamic braking but when the brake application goes down to around 4 bar air brake or 10 inches of vacuum brake the engine revs up to speed up the compressor/ exhauster to realease the brake and charge the main res.

@@RYNT1157 Ah that makes sense, thanks a million for explaining that to me, a mystery solved.

[@MetroVick]

The 071's sounded quite different back then (the NIR 111's still sound the same), there was some mod to the prime mover made in the 1990s (645 E3??). Great bit of video Tom.

Great video Tom

[@looneyirish007]

your footage is unreal for 1990, that must have been an expensive camera.

[@RYNT1157]

It was a bit , it was a JVC GR 60 VHS-C.

@@RYNT1157 wasn't that Docs camera in back to the future?

The turbo chargers were changed to different type in the 80s - 90s.
