Jings, they can almost do anything related to trains at the Bo'ness yard. However much of the work requires that they work as team and do not rush anything. Safety first and foremost at all times. Everyone wants to go home that evening, everyone wants to see their family. Nobody wants to have to call for an ambulance, which is something that can happen all too easily somewhere like this if you don't take the time to think about things properly or if you don't really know or understand what it is that you are doing.

Thanks for your comments Neil. The team performing the move were all briefed with the lift plan before hand. Some times it doesn't go to plan with tight old bogies not wanting to move. We are constantly risk assessing any changes in the plan.

Nice big bright workshop with all the right equipment, great. Time to put the lifting slings on the set of bogies. One of the team can't quite reach the one he wants so he grabs an old broom that looked like it had been around for decades, gets the sling he wanted, job done. Brilliant. Thank for sharing. Will you be showing how the work progresses ? Thanks again.👍👍

Spent many years working on 37's at Immingham TMD useful old Loco , use to have fractures on bogie headstocks ,we had to crack test them on exams (only the fabricated bogie not cast ones I think ) I never found any cracked though . Do you have any refurbished loco's with alternators fitted ,we had few at imm , worked really well they had electronic load reg and diverts controlled by rev tell on No 5 wheel set (rather than vane motor load reg ). Had them in multi on the iron ore flow to Scunthorpe ,didn't work well together some times as they were on their limit up Santon bank , signaller knew not to stop them on wet rail , never get moving again . Once you got pair that worked well together they never got split up , sometimes they would try go opposite direction in multi ( elecy got wire 7 8 mixed up in jumper )

@BONESS270012 жыл бұрын
Simon, The Matterson Jacks are electric driven to a screwed thread. The background noise is the class 08 shunter running outside the new shed.
@arthurmatthews93212 жыл бұрын
The jacks work using a screw thread turned by an electric motor, they are not hydraulic, so there is no risk of them failing . We used them to lift units when I was at heaton. They come in sets of four connected by electric cables so when they lift all four lift together, we used to call them hywima lifts or sommers lifts. Big heavy things to move around. They have a set of wheels that you jack up to move them but they must be set down on solid floor before you use them to lift a carriage or locomotive.
