This Crew Know How To Thrash A Locomotive!

[@mrmrst9020]

As a retired BR driver I would say nothing wrong with the crew driving that loco definitely not being thrashed misleading title

[@kristinajendesen7111]

Also retired but used to driving slam doors, 442s, 158/159s, 170s & Disastros. I can't imagine what it's like to stop a steam hauled train with a vacuum brake. Especially approaching the stop blocks at a terminus.

[@mrmrst9020]

@@kristinajendesen7111 hi it’s abit like stopping with auto brake on the slam door stock 👍🏻

[@MrCrankyChris]

Thrash, as in railfan speak of being driven to effect, not meaning badly. Hoping to see some ‘thrash’ at the GWSR steam gala tomorrow!

[@MichealRandall-q2x]

Sounded pretty well driven to me

[@willf20227]

No 'thrashing' there. Its being driven well on a slightly rising gradient. Been linked up and allowed to run a bit :)

[@7822welshsteam]

What's everyone's problem with the title? It's a well-known expression among train enthusiasts, meaning that we'll get some entertainment in the video. That's all.

[@CustomiZe_]

Thank you! I'm glad someone understands 😊

[@ianpow4563]

A short but quintessential trip on the Wirksworth branch. The BR class 2 on the front has a GW whistle, a sound to gladden the heart!

[@Shoddy127]

Your title is very misleading as that engine was not being thrashed at all! There is a significant difference in an engine being driven hard & then being thrashed, the latter certainly not being the case here!

[@neiltate6309]

Perhaps written by someone who is not a qualified engineman.

[@chrisbaines6931]

I don't know the route or the load but I wasn't alarmed by anything there. I drive steam on a heritage railway.

[@andrewsear937]

Not well written. Why capital all letters?

[@PHsRailwayVideos]

I don't get people's obsession with the title, I read that and just thought 'working it hard!'

[@charlesgalloway3445]

Beautiful sounds like the old days

[@tobys_transport_videos]

"Trotting like a well-bred pony!" No thrash here! 🙂

[@holmesjunction]

Sounds good to me. Least said about the title and lack of information, the better.🤣

[@anthonywarrener1881]

Well driven, I would say !

[@reynardbizzar5461]

Oh yes ‘ thrash’ , at 25 mph😂

[@derbyshiretrainboy1884]

I do miss 78018 at the evr

[@keithalexander3386]

Good ride by the sound of it.

[@CustomiZe_]

Certainly was! Thanks for watching

[@rodneycooperLMSCoach]

Listen to Argo Transacord record "Newfoundland Heads the Waverley" to hear what thrashing sound like.

[@allanwilson8161]

Yes I have that recording

[@rwhb1]

It is getting to the stage where anything on the internet cannot be trusted

[@schitthe]

At first I read „trash“ and had no idea what they might have done wrong 😂

[@CustomiZe_]

I may have a video about trashing a loco, video soon! 🤣

[@Geo46115]

It sounded normal and really not a 'thrash' nor 'trash', but just an enthusiastic crew, and observing the preserved lines speed limit of 25mph! Take it from me as an ex: BR fireman I know too well if an engine is being 'abused'. These BR Standard Class 2's were a cracking engine.

[@arlosurgenor6588]

Full forward gear, like driving a car in first gear everywhere. Sounds good but not terribly economical on steam or coal.

[@Geo46115]

​@arlosurgenor6588 Precisely that... couldn't have put it better.

[@jasonpotter2317]

What Heritage Railway is this please ?

[@CustomiZe_]

Ecclesbourne Valley Railway

[@rodneycooperLMSCoach]

That's just standard loco driving. You should have seen some BR drivers in the 1960's

[@tonywise198]

Click bait title.. No where near thrashing it.. Obviously too young to remember steam on BR.

[@poshdan4071]

Not many of us are, doesn’t mean he’s wrong though

[@robertbate5790]

Yep, I agree, 👍👍👍

[@robertmitchell2859]

An ex BR engine thrashed at 25mph 😂😂😂

[@poshdan4071]

You lot are so pedantic and petty, just shut up and enjoy the video. If you have nothing nice to say, don’t say anything at all

[@CustomiZe_]

Thank you!!

[@Sam_Green____4114]

What railway is this ? It seems a very fast 25 mph !

[@CustomiZe_]

Ecclesbourne Valley Railway. It certainly felt very fast! 🤣🤣

[@meltonin8837]

Nice video. Thanks. Where was this? Don't hear any 'thrashing'!

[@Tom-Lahaye]

Just proper driving, but no hard thrashing! But which railway is this?

[@dominicbuckley8309]

Ecclesbourne Valley Railway in Derbyshire.

[@BobGeenty-ys5zq]

Can’t see anything wrong with that.

[@christopherwilson3442]

I thought the crew handled the loco completely, nothing wrong for me.

[@Demun1649]

Someone else earned the DRC.

[@stamrly418]

Was this click bait or ignorance of how locos should be worked?

[@PHsRailwayVideos]

A term some train enthusiasts use to mean working hard

[@trainsimulatordriver]

You know why they said "trash" it made you lot come here and comment lolololol. Yep perfectly normal steam start and run.

[@MrRespite]

Silly misleading title, loco handled well, plenty left.
