does anyone know what locos are working the cumbrian coast this coming Saturday the 20th of august

 

thanks I well appreciate your reply but im looking more into what individual locos, class 37s or to be more specific if 37402 large logo is booked on the 10:37 preston barrow and/or the barrow Carlisle connection thanks again though

 

thanks I found this info usefull

 

thanks I found this info very usefull

 

While we are at it any ideas what steam producing device is pencilled in for this?

 

46115 with diesel accompaniment northbound

 

If the rest of "What's going on" is a reliable guide, about a dozen keyboard warriors sounds likely ...

I assume solo back down the coast, will have to be out with the 3 year old enthusiast to see if the whistle is sounded!

 

She could definitely do Shap (and then probably Beattock) unassisted with that much hot air powering her.....

 

Surely not if it's the usual 11? There are past history and familiarity with loco and route clauses that would surely apply to Guardsman?

 

How do you know it will be diesel accompanied? It's not normal over Shap.

 

Think back a couple of weeks to Leander being well and truly pushed up Shap,a few remarked around me that 45690 could hardly be heard

 

But as mentioned many times in terms of power output a Jub is scarcely a class 6 whereas a Scot is virtually the equal of a class 8.

 

Whatever is in the front (noted 46115) was in steam at carnforth yesterday evening, they have a lovely day for it...

 

Having abandoned the original plan due to the weather, here is a shot of 46115 speeding north through Lancaster at close to 75mph this morning.

 

Least it doesn't have sticking draincocks like the usual fare on the CME

 

Amazed those two kids on the platform completely ignored it even when 46115 whistled, only realizing after it had gone past that it was 'different'!
