Magnificent and 31270 is coming to the Severn valley railway for the first time ever

[@JakeBSteam]

Very interesting video, I am a trainee Guard and Station master at Peak Rail so recognise this video very well :) Keep them coming. Regards Jake

Very nice video loved it especially the sounds of steam

[@EpicLocoFilmsUK]

Nice one mate, loved it.

[@NJPurling]

That Class 31 looks like it needs rather more than a re-paint. Work on both cabs to deal with body rot & leaking window seals. It just looks somewhat neglected.

[@stevewyman2822]

yeh, Nice video....I think " Regional Railways " paintwork..really suits 31' s..!!!...31 's have always been one of my favorites anyways...!!! have always liked them..

[@nablicman]

Cheers.

[@stevewyman2822]

***** no worries mate..

[@ronnieg6358]

Yes I feel the same about 31s. What is it about them?

[@tommysommers9295]

I've been inside a 31 cab in a game and real life

[@johnbrown9092]

Nice video😊

[@nablicman]

Thanks much appreciate.

[@janiceandcliff]

Nice relaxing day out, great cab ride, staff look happy and friendly. If they repaint class 31, which scheme would you prefer ? Cheers, Cliff.

[@nablicman]

Ye it was a nice relaxing day and the staff were very frendly thay asked me if I wanted to ride in the cab oh yes. I quite like the regional railways livery but I suppose Green or BR blue.

[@banksroadmodernimage7358]

Looks n sound very nice!! Not many reggie rail 31s left i guess now.

[@nablicman]

There is one left 31465 one of the yellow Network rail 31st but it's future is unsecured as yet.

[@tommysommers9295]

Is this a heritage railway

[@mikehumble1120]

A1A.... FTW

[@gingerninja2269]

why is it shut up?

[@RobertdMacGregor]

I dont think they have enough Diesel shunters

[@samk4128]

There are at least two collections of shunters at Peak Rail, the Heritage Shunters Trust and the Briddons at Darley Dale. Neither are part of PR itself.

@@samk4128 do you happen to know who owns 31270 please?

[@bobp6742]

Why did the driver have the train brake in the operating position when being dragged that brake should be in the off position.

[@Seb7535_pafc]

For working a Vacuum fitted train the trailing locomotive has its exhausters isolated and the brake handle in the running position. For Air brake working the brake handle will be in the shut down position.

[@bobp6742]

@@Seb7535_pafc Didn't notice it was a vacuum braked stock am too dum to realise it's a steam loco. I only ever worked one steam loco from chester to crewe back in the early 80s, that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it😂👍

[@Seb7535_pafc]

@@bobp6742 if you watch at 1:00 you see the vacuum chamber is charged and the brake pipe start to raise.

[@bobp6742]

@@Seb7535_pafc Got to admit I didn't watch the video properly it was on in the background, busy doing other things. I've just sat down and watched it again, makes sense now.

@@Seb7535_pafc Long time since been on 31's , though it was locked out ! I know AV2 controlled the Vac pipe via loco ABP when Loco is working Vac train , never sure how Vac pipe controlled loco ABP when trailing . Obviously trailing its needs the Vac train pipe to control loco brakes does AV2 work ways? . Long time ago now can't see how AV2 can drop brake pipe to apply loco brake when auto brake (M8A) when in running position , wouldn't it try to maintain 5bar ? edit ,but then if locked out how does loco get brake pipe ? I can't remember I probably never trailed dual braked loco on vac train but its common practise on these steam railways AV2 or air vac relay forgotten exact name now , its age thing LOL
