LE Movements, ECS and Test Runs 2018

A steam loco on test with a class 0 headcode?

 

Yes, the train header states "light locomotive". There's no reason why a steam loco cannot run light engine. ( But a PO brake is very useful for tools and tea making facilities, but would then be class 5 - empty coaching stock.)
The train load comes from the schedule which was copied/amended to give a trailing load of 715 tonnes.

Schedule Information

• STP schedule UID U55361, identity 0K44
• Runs TWO between 28/08/2018 to 29/08/2018
• Service code 21708001
• Light Locomotive

Operational Information

• Schedule from ITPS
• Timed for 60mph max
• Diesel locomotive, trailing load 715 tonnes

60009 at Peterborough en route to the Nene Valley Railway

 

Love the weathered appearance.

 

Bet they’ll clean her in time for the Steam in Green weekend. Will be outshone by the immaculate 34081 if they don’t. Could also have a problem with the Trades Description Act, as she doesn’t look vey green!

 

It is D213 / 40013

 

York Holgate to Carnforth LE move today at 1837. I wonder if it will be both Leander and BIL.

 

One needed for the Waverley on Sunday

 

The timings on RTT have been there every Thursday this summer. Not always used. I would think that the two locos would come back after the weekend

 

Maybe on the 13th, as there is one more Scarborough Spa on that day.

 

Any info on what is moving from York NRM to Carnforth 5Z35

 

I would guess it's 35018.

 

Any info on what is moving from York NRM to Carnforth today

 

Railcam says it's 45690 and 35018.

 

Thanks

 

Both through Cononley more or less on time.

 

45690 towing a seemingly dead 35018 British India Line at Giggleswick.Edit . 35018 is in steam but not helping in any way .

 

looks to be steam from the injector on 35018 so its in steam, and 45690 seems to be doing all the work

 

35018 had a whisper of steam under the cab
