    It would appear 60103 did a test run York to Scarborough and back today as well.

    What was wrong then, was it a faulty oil feed line to the slide bars? what the 10A lads were trying to sort out did they get it sorted because in your video of it coming back from Hellifield to 10A it looked like 6201 were worryingly trundling along near Giggleswick. Steve.

    If there has been a problem then they were always going to take it steady on the way back.

    Hey well the 10A lads are most certainly on the ball to get Lizzie right again, a loaded test run is imminent I guess soon.

    Plenty of flooding but 35018 "sailed" through it! Not terribly good picture attached. Cononley. The water is a field, not the nearby River Aire, although that is up to the top of it's banks. 35018 going really well with steam to spare.
