TANGMERE WON'T STOP BREAKING - Cancelled at Carlisle! 21/09/24

[@Leonard-zf5zf]

Poor old tangmere always in trouble I enjoyed video

[@Barbarapape]

No surprise that Tangmere has blown a gasket, no other steam loco has worked as hard this year. At least we might see a more varied selection, a Black 5 hauled the last one.

[@alanmcgunnigle4186]

Similar to the service record of the unrebuilt locos in British Railways days. This is why they were rebuilt with new valve gear etc.

[@brucelamberton8819]

Poor old Tangmere ☹️

[@adeleyoung6506]

That was a good selection I enjoyed thank you

[@AilingSquid]

From what I’ve heard she’s thrown a piston so out for the rest of the season that’s left Edit: at minimum Hopefully the techs can get her back for the Xmas runs

[@AilingSquid]

And let’s face it has any other loco worked as hard she’s has this season been a hard tour for the old girl

[@stephensmith799]

I’m not sure what ‘throwing a piston’ might mean in a steam loco. Cotter retaining the piston into the cross head worked loose and piston head was driven under pressure into the end of the cylinder?

[@stevebeswick3699]

You do wonder if Tangmere or Clan Line might hold the record for the highest main line milage in preservation, because of their regularity.

[@peterfindlay2756]

Thank you - good and brave run with a camera in hand. For the uninitiated what is the link to 'Leslie's' channel?

[@brianeynon5406]

Rebuilds seem to be more robust all around

[@SSccaanniiaa]

What does it keep breaking?

[@BritishRailJack]

Who knows mate but it must be because it is one of the only locos they can use and it is being worked very hard! Also because it is very old now 😅

[@nickscontractingservices3408]

On another video I'm sure it's thrown a rod or something to do with the valves someone will be able to correct me if I'm wrong

[@mattlander9119]

​@@nickscontractingservices3408 From the picture I've seen the front of the left hand cylinder cover was blown off and some of the casting damaged. Unsure of how exactly but new cylinder block required

[@shipsarerubbish]

but it doesn't keep breaking.

[@barryroberts2196]

It just may be that the old girl has been flogged to death this year !

[@MichaelSmith-wj8zb]

Does anyone know why she failed?

[@SimonTog]

Good video :)

[@BritishRailJack]

Thanks Simon I appreciate it 😀👍

[@04clemea]

*this video comment section* "Hello, I'd like to see uninformed wibble" Here you are Sir, enjoy! 🤦‍♂️

[@teamtrains]

Amazing video hope tangmere gets fixed soon and are you seeing behamas at Crewe on Saturday 16th November

[@BritishRailJack]

I may do it depends on the weather but it is going to blackpool I think? If so I would see it at preston 😀

[@teamtrains]

@@BritishRailJack also I might get through Warrington stoped at Crewe then go Preston

[@teamtrains]

@@BritishRailJack are you going to the SVR diesel gala

[@theoccupier1652]

They put to many coaches Plus a Tin box on the back to haul ... These Loco's are very old and should be treated as such

[@snocoelevators]

Damn. 34067 doesn't want to pull excursions. Maybe it wants a USATC S160 to haul it instead

[@beeractivist4439]

Being flogged too hard?

[@jonathanhasnip3700]

A devastating blow to the Tangmere team, let's hope that it's not too expensive to repair for them and hopefully she'll be able to steam again in the not too distant future 🙏

[@TC-qd1zw]

So much steam, why? All those Chinese parts eh.

[@james426able1]

I think it's about time Tangmere retires

[@jameshardy4354]

They where rebuilt for a reason

[@AilingSquid]

@@jameshardy4354they were now parts are hard to find hopefully she’s back up and running soon

[@BibTheBoulderTheOriginalOne]

Southern rubbish. Give me a King any day.

[@theoccupier1652]

You seem to think this is funny ... it's not ... give the old girl some respect

[@BibTheBoulderTheOriginalOne]

@@theoccupier1652 You seem to think I'm being serious. I'm not. Get a sense of humour.
