    This makes sense as 46115 seemed in fine fettle on lower part of Grayrigg. Was a couple of coaches from the back so couldn't always see the the loco through the mist and murk.

    The set back at Carlisle is usually because when the train arrives and stops at the signal, the back of the train is up to the start signal for southbound. So once loco backs on it has to set back to be the right side of the signal.

    Thanks Ralph. On previous trips the loco has always been on the train when I got back to the station and had presumably already set back.

    I'm guessing that there is no WCME the 4th April, with the RTC web site not listing one, but UK Steam has done for some time now.

    Do you have any details on that one Mark? Is it advertised online anywhere, or a private job?

    Surprised if it was the black eight as wouldn't that reduce the speed too much over Shap (or more accurately up the base of shap then after the summit).

    8F did Shap and the Coast last year so it could well be a pilot on the WCME to drag it over the summit at 50mph!
