Great to see, thanks for everyone's hard work.

[@J0nnyGT]

Our pleasure! Still has a few problems but we will get round to fixing it.

Looking Forward to seeing it in action again, i would still love to do a driver experience on it as i had one booked years ago but the ELR cancelled it -twice!

[@J0nnyGT]

Fingers crossed we can get it back into service soon. As mentioned in the video funds keeping these locos going is extremely expensive especially when we need to buy a set Alf new batteries for it. Please consider helping us out where you can and you never know 7076 might be able to do a driver experience for you.

@@J0nnyGT Thanks for replying and believe me i can fully understand a 60 year old Diesel Hydraulic is going to be a money pit and if i had money spare after spending it on my fleet of 16 Vintage lorries which are also around the same age -i would be contributing !! -but yes im 100% for the driver experience if they run the courses again. Please take a look at my old lorries on my site.

Absolutely brilliant 👍🏻

Thank you! Cheers!

[@peterthornton2396]

What a great project! Four charge coolers up top? Who’s manufactured that engine? I’m just getting into locos in my old age haha. Love the huge Diesel engines

[@J0nnyGT]

Thanks Peter, Well spotted, those are four charge coolers with two huge turbos. The engine is a Machbach MD870 and was manufactured in the UK under licence by Bristol-Siddeley. The engine produces 1,700 HP however this is massively derated due to BRs requirement for a ‘Type 3’ loco. The engine was more than capable of 3,300 HP and sorry to say was years ahead of anything English Electric manufactured at the time.

[@peterthornton2396]

@@J0nnyGT thanks for that mate. Well I suppose the engines will last a little longer under less boost if that’s how they de tuned them.

[@J0nnyGT]

Few ways, turbo size, fuel pumps, nozzle size to name a few. We our locos at the EAST LANCASHIRE RAILWAY. Well worth a visit

[@SirReginaldBlomfield1234]

Maybach, surely ?

[@petersmith4455]

well done, how many gallons of oil in the sump ?

[@J0nnyGT]

Hi Peter, Off the top of my head the engine takes around 90 gallons of oil which is two oil drums. The engine and transmission uses good quality ‘straight 40s’ oil however the final drive uses ‘straight 80s’ As you can imagine with the world today this is very expensive stuff and we need every bit of help to get D7076 ‘Hymek’ going again. Please see our Facebook group for further details and updates on the restoration of our hydraulic fleet: facebook.com/groups/680632005289481/?ref=share

[@22pcirish]

Never seen a Hymek move. They seem to be perpetually in bits!

[@J0nnyGT]

Well 2023 might be the year for you. As we are only a small band of volunteers it does take time (and a load of money!!!) to get these complex beasts running again especially since we have 4 hydraulic locos in our fleet. If everything goes to plan D7076 should run at the July Summer Diesel gala at the East Lancashire Railway.

Hello There it is Mr Cannadine T. Boxill-Harris, I have another interesting idea for most of you Class 508, Class 507, Class 313, Class 314 and that also is including those interesting Class 315 Fans out there, rather than scrapping most of those Class 508, Class 507, Class 313's Class 314's including the Class 315's maybe you guys can convert them and including the refurbishment into those Leyland 680 Engine, Volvo B10M Engine, Volvo D10M Engine, Cummins M11 Engine, Gardner 6LXC Engine, Gardner 6LXB Engine, Gardner 8LXB Engine, Class 508 Class 507, Class 313's, Class 314's and the Class 315's and convert all of them into a 2 Carriages and Three Carriages of the Class 508, Class 507, Class 313's, Class 314's and that is including those Class 315's for most of us Class 314's and the Class 315's Diesel Train Fans out there Please? Are you still going to do this interesting type of Project for all of us out there Pretty PLEASE.

[@J0nnyGT]

No no no no no no!!!! Scrap all the classes you mentioned as they are all garbage compared to the BHG fleet
