[Aureol]

It seems that Deltic Matt has started filming abroad and has developed a Canadian accent...

hehe "aaright!" It'd be odd if we saw a 66 hauling loads of canadian locos eh?

0H05 is about as exciting as it gets in terms of convoys over here.

can't be that exciting - 0H05 must be light engine

 

[Mintona]

Yeah, it's probably a 5 loco convoy from Immingham to Doncaster/Toton or sommet...

Not exactly. I've seen an 0Y12 convoy on several occasions that have either had 4 or 5 GBRf 66s, 5 73 (from both GBRf and Network Rail) and even 66 + 73s together.

Yes, nothing particularly out of the ordinary...

Well I got the Immingham bit right!
That's one hell of a convoy!

wonder how many horse power there is there

 

[AlexS]

3 sheds at 3300hp ea
5 60s at 3100hp ea
1 67 at 2980hp ea

makes 28380hp total for the convoy.

Although obviously it's impossible for all to be working at once (without several drivers)!

67??? Where is the 67??? :? FYI, the line up is as follow's: 66084/66121/66017/60042/60041/60082/60018/60500/60030

If you think about it, you'll figure out where I got the number's from...

Btw, you could have the front 3 66's working...

28,500hp total for the convoy...

Gone are the days of the mega convoys from Immingham...

...and by the way, it was only ever the lead loco powering (others would be off or idling)

 

[Broken Viking]

Now that is what I'd call a serious amount of power! hock:
Coxster...I don't suppose we ever get anything like that around Farnborough, do we?
