The Lune Rivers Trust Special; 30/09/17

There doesn't seem to be a thread for this (I've got such things wrong before), so...given all the 'activity' on the BIL thread, I thought I'd open one.

Question is, do I get up at stupid o'clock and get over to the Lil NW in the hope of seeing a big green steam machine?

Ive heard from a good sauce that 98818 is being readied for the Lune Rivers

My sauce proven right as usual

 

Depends when stupid o'clock is? I'll be up at 4am for the travel north...

 

Hahah...well for me it's anything before 06.00 on a weekend. But all power to you!

 

Thats what I call dedication and lets hope the forecast is wrong

 

A typical Northern Wimp, Henry mate! 4 am is the norm if I go up north and for Fort William it's an all night drive. I did think about doing this one but the waether forecast seems to be getting worse.

 

I’ve heard that 45699 Galatea will be piloting BIL on the way back to Carnforth

 

Yes John but Im only getting home at 3AM from night out

 

Save time and just go straight for the LNW Henry, you can sleep on the way there.

 

Yes Ian its surely the long way round to go there by Fort Bill lol

 

Correct.

 

I would say it's worth it as I'll be up early for it John

 

I have only just seen the weather... I'll take my chances and hope for the best, but this opportunity can be shaded by an umbrella and waterproofs quite easily I'd say

 

Good man

 

Will be providing the Bulleid Pacific reception committee at York. Will almost certainly be waving it off, anyway.

 

Carnforth

 

Looks fantastic

 

Great Picture

 

Doesn't she look good well done all those at Carnforth for turning her out so well
