I love these engines! Nice to see them have a run out of the shunting yard.

[@sipstea8825]

I really do love the EWS livery. Suits the 08 just as well as the class 66's. I noticed that the Plymouth train yard has a class 08, presumably in working order although I didn't get a good look at her - she was obscured by lots of fencing. The one at Didcot was looking rather shabby and sad...but she still works hard!

[@matthewsnowdenshunterguy3352]

Sips Tea i totally agree! A very attractive livery that suits ANYTHING in my opinion?! Ive modelled a class 20 in the livery in a previous video :) i havnt actually seen too many 08's in this livery?! Only an 09 at HST! Cheers

[@CardboardSliver]

The 08s and 37s, two of our finest engines, and still earning their keep!

[@gedhoughton9523]

Couldn't have said it better, the electric trains have no personality or soul. These and most diesels are just like "I'll try, I'll try!"

[@SDJR7F88]

Quite the celebration indeed! That Clag! Nice to see a comparison between the standard and low cab design. Great selection of locations. A rare occasion seeing them out on the open rails. Must say that was the weirdest noise I've ever heard an engine make climbing that bank! Excellent work and thanks for sharing!

[@matthewsnowdenshunterguy3352]

IT WAS BRILLIANT :D the sight of em, the sound of em, all of it! They shud def do mor coz they hav a nice fleet of shunters! Cheers

Nice bit of double gronking!!!

[@matthewsnowdenshunterguy3352]

Nigel Terry cant beat it

[@mechsmantg]

Nice footage this. Interesting comparison between standard build and shorty version. Looks like they used slightly smaller wheels to drop the height down a bit more as well. I love these little machines, especially the class 13 version. I built a OO class 13 in br blue, but if a little bit of "alt history" I think an EWS liveried version would be cool. I'm now wondering about a "low height" version of a 13 as well, but that might be a step too far.

[@matthewsnowdenshunterguy3352]

Cheers. Yeah the cut down is cool. Not sure on the smaller wheels, possibly? One does turn quicker than the other if u watch. I build loads of fictitious models, so a cut down EWS 13 would b a right crack 👍🏻

[@mechsmantg]

@@matthewsnowdenshunterguy3352 yeah I was watching the coupling rods go in and out of sync and I figured it couldn't all be wheel slip under excess power. That train weight would be a walk in the park for an 08 normally, so I can't imagine it was having that many issues. I was debating what sort of scenario would require a cut down EWS 13 and I came up with something like a contracted out haulage service from a restricted access rail served ammo dump. All the internal rail networks I've seen for ammo dumps have very tight curves (040 or 060 locos max), steep inclines, and restricted height entrance ways for the bunkers (low height), so I figured that if a contractor was used for moving wagons internally to make up heavy trains, you couldn't use an articulated loco due to curves and height, and you need more horsepower than a single 08, a 13 is a good fit. If you based it on 09 units you could even justify local trip workings off the internal network and down the main.

[@SegaMario]

Any more videos I can find of the unique cut-down cab 08?

[@matthewsnowdenshunterguy3352]

Probably if u search for Class 08 Ashburnham

Well Matthew, a big scenario for a new "Cl 08 video" in Common Barn. Isn't it ? Gerard.

[@GrahamFoulston]

That was almost like watching something on Common Barn! Those two certainly look good together - maybe another project for you? As it's so local to you it would be very easy for getting reference material ;-) The cut down version does look a bit weird though next to the standard 08. Do you know what was the reasoning behind that Matthew ? Just curious that' all. .............Graham

[@matthewsnowdenshunterguy3352]

Haha it was! Living here nxt to the railway throws projects up for me all the time, like this cut down 08 ;) im hoping to get a 3D print like Vulcan?! Its cut down because its original origin was the railway in Gwendreath Valley, which has a lot of small tunnels, hence needing the cut down :) cheers

[@GrahamFoulston]

Ah OK, I thought it must have been for a special reason for something like that. Now how did I guess that you would be having a go at modelling that!! lol. Good on you and I'm sure it will be brilliant once you have worked your magic on it. ..........Graham

[@jamesbradford4550]

why was the ews 08 shorter than the other

[@matthewsnowdenshunterguy3352]

james bradford the loco was roof chopped to fit through smaller tunnels on previous railway

[@nigelterry9299]

She was modified to work the Burry Port and Gwendraeth Railway, replacing similarly modified class 03s. A standard loco was sent up the branch. Not a body panel left in true......

[@oscarwylder]

Thanks for that - I was wondering too.

[@Chixftainnn]

Max Speed?

[@goingnowherefast1834]

I’ve noticed the EWS loco is shorter In height compared to the other. What’s the reason, later batch perhaps?

[@matthewsnowdenshunterguy3352]

FatFaceNo. 4 yep wel observed. It was shortened to fit thrrough tunnels etc on one of its previous railways

[@nolantherailfan5048]

The class 08's are great at shunting but I don't think they are the best for taking passenger trains

[@alexcutionman4569]

Why is one loco shorter?

[@matthewsnowdenshunterguy3352]

For it to be able to fit in the lower gauged areas of the railway it worked on. Read through the comments below, ive put the info in replies to many people lol

[@arthurgportoanimacoes62]

[@isacplayzroblox1592]

Hello diesel!

[@genericclass4058]

[@rhyspage2261]

Liberty Prime EWS “Ashburnham” was cut down due to the low bridges of the former Burry Port and Gwendraeth Valley Railway, in South Wales. The railway was built upon a former canal bed so all locomotives required modification.

[@mohdfauzanhusna4260]

What gauge are they using?

can someone tell me if the coaches here are mk1 or mk2 and what the year of service would be -

paul hunter Mk1's and 1950's i believe. Kwvr got all info on their site 👍🏻

[@NJPurling]

The coaches are all Mark 1's. On the rake in the video they look like Tourist Second Open and Kings Cross Suburban. That is one of the curiosities of the KWVR. The non-corridor stock makes sense on the short line.
