Excellent Scott

 

Thanks Henry, a little closer to home than the red Jubilee !

 

Any reports of this yet?

 

'British India Line' working across Capernwray Viaduct heading for York and tomorrows 'Scarborough Spa Express' duties

 

TWThO next week -- LS circular runs Crewe - Chester - Telford - Crewe have appeared on RTT.
Any ideas ?

 

I have no info Scott, but could be 70000 on test perhaps? Heard a few weeks back its repairs were almost complete.

 

Hmm, an interesting move tomorrow from Carnforth to York, timed for 50mph:-

And another the following day:-

this timed for 60mph....Hmm....

 

Hopefully 45231, as it's on the Sugar Loaf Mountaineer next month and needs some running in.

 

Well it wasn't - I don't often regret not doing video but the sound at Wellington would have been well worth recording..

 

The first path is pathed to run every Wednesday until November, maybe the new test path?

 

46100 crossing Roodee Viaduct this morning

WSR diesel gala convoy 2moro

 

So - day 2 of the LSL test runs with 46100.
A much better day for weather but the temperatures doing nothing for the chance of exhaust.

 

A couple of shots from today’s run taken at Telford station.

 

Crackin Scott,another good day for you
