• D7018 transmission testing

    Class 35 ‘Hymek’ D7018 was started up at Williton yesterday so that static tests could be carried out on the transmission (gear change control). The first video shows D7018 bursting into life, reluctantly at first, under the watchful eye of Bob Clegg. The second video shows the array of pressure gauges that have been set up to monitor the individual control pressures. The lack of response on gauges “WA”, “P Red” and “FDR” mean that we have not yet solved the problem and more work is needed ! Thanks to Martin Howard for the videos. © CC BY-NC 3.0
