Failed 91 on ECML

[Bayum]

Reserving seats, noticed an extremely late nxec service arriving from kings x, at least 90 down. Went and had a look, and was met with a 67 hauling said service, and then onwards to neville hill. Got a vid, and an explanation for breakdown 'electrical failure in the engine'. Anyone know the reason or is that the real reason? More details on class numbers when i get home

Well, if that was the reason given, I would have expected this to be the case - it's not unheard of! :roll:

'electrical failure in the engine'.

It hasn't got an engine.

'electrical failure in the engine'.

It hasn't got an engine.

...unless the OP is using 'engine' as in the generic term for the loco.

I'm just saying what I was told... Anyways - does anyone know if I can upload videos taken from my phone straight onto youtube?? Or can I upload them to the site in anyway??

Depends on the file format your phone records in. My last phone recorded in 3GP format and was no good for anything, I think youtube supports mp4 but Ive not tried yet

if it is in 3GP, use a free media converter on tinternet to convert it to WMV or MPG

seen a 91 being towed by a 67 this afternoon leaving Newcastle about 12.00'ish.
Anyone got any other details at all?

Cheers

If it was heading North without any passengers, then it was probably going to Heaton.

If it was heading South, then it was possibly a training run of some description. IE Route learning or learning the traction.

Good point I had a blonde moment.

Cheers for that.
It was heading southbound over the KE bridge.

Cheers again
