Fantastic video, very informative

Salute from Union Pacific country, thanks Brian🇬🇧🇺🇸👍

Love these 66 videos keep up the great work 🙂🙂

Another cracking video, Brian. Driving a train takes a lot of skill. I think its under-appreciated by the general populace. But it is certainly appreciated by me and my fellow subscribers. I sub to Don Coffey too - love his cab-ride vids. Keep up the good work with these videos.

I've learnt a fair bit through watching your videos. Good stuff - Saafty! 👍

Loving these kind of videos, so thank you for explaining it all to everyone.

Great videos 👍🏻 I’ve learnt so much about 66’s from you now, keep up the good work. Coming from a HGV background and talking about ‘air pressure’ it all makes sense from what you have described 👍🏻

Awesome video once again Brian, your channel is doing very well already! 753 and 780 are quite attached to you lol

Interesting stuff Brian. I recorded Trafford Park to Wembley recently so can relate to where your train is berthed. We scooted through and caught the stopper to Euston then pass back to Piccadilly.

Hoping at some point to have you on my loco for a cab ride Don

if i was to see u at a station stopped and i was train spotting could i ask you to take pics from the cab. like i give you my cam and i stay on the platform?

‘Ow do Brian. Re: wagon parking brakes: is there a preferred choice of vehicles, such as the 1st 3 behind the loco, to which the parking brake should be applied?

as i am a truck driver but only have 44ton gross i do not film as it takes up too much time and most of my loads are bonded and i cannot film where im going yes i do scotland to spain regular but i can only drive so many hrs a day and need my rest like you

I had a nose about from the bridge over the Hinksey yard today in Oxford, and could hear that high pitched oscillating idle of a 66 from far away - and it continued for the half hour I was there and didn't move. What is that sound - what is it that is left on and why? Cheers for this great content!

The high-pitched component of the engine noise is the turbocharger, if that's what you're asking about.

@@studiomilo The turbocharger is an integral part of the engine.

If the train isn't going anywhere for an hour, would it save diesel to shut it down, or would restarting it at the end of the hour use more?

No they burn more on startup than leaving it running. It also means the air in the train can be lost and it would require handbrakes being applied

So random question haw do you go to the toilet and where ? Is there a toilet on board

Excellent description of how the 66 is safely parked. Anyone watching this channel can see safety is your number one priority - unfortunately you will always get those "woke" warriors criticising your channel and what your doing. Looking forward to watching further uploads. Cheers Euan

Oh do shut up. You Right wingers always start on about "woke this" and "woke that". Change the record and learn to type. Oh and FYI it's you're*. Furthermore, get a real model railway: the N gauge is nonsense.

Would hope it was everyone's priority!

Where are the emergency brakes on the class 66

if you are interested, you have been noticed by NR employees and word is spreading of your channel, expect more subs soon😄

What a bore!!
