Steam Dreams 2019 - New Summer and other tours

Nah, it's the cab side that's too small.

 

They must have expected a slow start, like the Jacobite and British Pullman it's aimed at a different group of people to the regular railtour crowd so relies on their marketing to find first time passengers - however successfully it's promoted it will take time for awareness to grow, but the potential is vast.

 

The B1 at Beckenham Hill station this morning:

 

A bit late as these image are from the 4th - I popped out to see the first run of "The Sunset Steam Express"
- crossing the Thames on Richmond Railway Bridge
- the water stop at Chertsey

 

Week 3 of the Windsor shuttles. 61306 away from Waterloo RT with 47245 on the rear again. Sounded great departing!

 

First there's the green glow from the signal, then the crossing lights, then the station lights. Nothing worrisome.

 

Does anyone know what is hauling the tour to Bristol this Thursday?

 

44871, according to the Steam Dreams timings page.

 

The inverted 40mph speed restriction sign gives confidence in NR's maintenance vigilance!

 

61306 absolutely stormed up Betchworth bank in a downpour this evening. Very impressive with the equivalent of 13 coaches.

 

Also planned to haul next Tuesday's trains (or at least the Sunset Steam Express), according to my e-ticket that was sent earlier.

 

Yep according to the RWSE website the rostered loco is 44871

 

Where's Eaton?? as in the caption 'Windsor and Eaton Riverside'?

 

It's in the county of Pedant

 

Touchy aren't you? Just a whimsical question.

 

whimsical - acting or behaving in a capricious manner.

 

Playful in my book and you really need to loosen up

 

Black 5 44871 showing its power through Selhurst, Godstone and Redhill with an additional pause at Nutfield for its Waterstop. Lovely sound from the engine at all locations!
