    That sounds epic- surely there must be footage of this somewhere?!

    Have a feeling it was 40063. 5690 still had the CME headboard on it when it came to the rescue.

    I think it was later than that I'd say about 97/98 and 48151 was scrambled from Carnforth with a Steam lance fitted to its front bufferbeam. I think it was Salt that was shorting out track circuits. All this came at a time when Railtrack was having trouble gauging charters at the time and quite a few journos asked 'why is it you need 13 weeks notice for LE movement yet when you needed 48151 to clear the WCML you had it cleared in less than 2 hours?!'

    I believe that when the Scarborough Spas were running on the Harrogate loop, it was regularly used as a connection from Leeds to Harrogate for passengers ex a TPE service from Manchester airport. The normal connection was a Pacer some time later........

    I seem to remember in the early '60s boarding a train at KX bound for Newcastle only for the diesel to fail on the journey and a 'proper' engine being added as pilot. Can't remember if it was an A4 or another Pacific.

    It counts alright. Deltic had come to a stand at Sutton Cross and could not proceed so off went Thunderbird 34081. :Resistanceisfutile:

    I've been looking through an album of industrial steam locos.
    At Francis colliery in Ayrshire it was customary for their 0-4-0ST to bank loaded trains up the gradient out of the colliery complex. A photo taken in February 1978 shows "a class 20 hauled train receiving a welcome push".
    Did the steam loco continue (unofficially of course) on to BR metals I wonder?

    I know No 7 at Bickershaw Colliery was so used at least once in the 1980s.

    It was a regular occurrence, as well as bailing out the 08 that was trialled as a potential steam replacement and found to be inadequate. The diesels that eventually arrived had double the HP of the 08!
