LE Movements, ECS and Test Runs 2021

They're entered as STP and not the usual WTT entries. We'll see if anything happens.

 

Rebuilt Bulleid Merchant Navy class 4-6-2 No. 35018 British India Line passes through Hartford station more than two hours before its booked time during a West Coast Railways positioning move from Southall to Carnforth on 11th July 2021.

 

While this is a good photo, I can't give it a "like" as I feel sad to see BIL go back North. Please can we have her down here on SR metals again soon - and keep for a bit longer?

 

Sorry no, it belongs to 10A.


Consider yourselves VERY honoured that Mr Smith graciously allowed it to have a short visit darn sarf.

 

What's up wi' thi'? Thas getten ClanLine ant thi? Don't bi ser greedy!

 

Tornado's return to Southall today following the excellent Royal Duchy tour yesterday.

Realtime Trains - 5Z37 1152 Bishops Lydeard to Southall Wcr

 

It's greed, oop'ere we don't go rambling on "can we have Clan Line" no, oop 'ere we've got BIL (rescued and refurbed) and we're satisfied. After all, BIL is 'tuned' for our northern hills.



That's the way to go up Shap (take note at 2 min. 10 secs.

 

Well, Gentlemen, you've made your point! Perhaps a 600+ mile round trip is in order before too long, especially as, unlike its forays recent down here, 35018 is allowed to run up and down the Northern hills without rear end assistance.

Point taken about Clan Line, but I have a special soft spot for 35018 because when I visited Woodham's Barry as a mere youth in 1974, it was the most conveniently positioned MN for a picture (see above)

 

Bahamas move south on Friday

Jubilee class 4-6-0 No. 45596 Bahamas passing through Hartford station on 16/07/2021 on its way from the KWVR to Southall.

 

And approaching Headstone Lane.

 

47802 45690 46115 5Z63 to Crewe at Preston 1822 Fri. AN

46115 just left Crewe for Carnforth 3 early

 

Not sure what this is? There is a prior move from York NRM to Holgate Sidings timed at 60 mph.
This would imply steam, possibly Alberta (or whoever/whatever she is!), but the move to Carnforth is shown at 75mph. The headcode is OZ62 which adds to the intrigue. Any knowledge or suggestions please?

Diesel back to base from the Tornado tour.

 

Thanks

 

Yes. Looking at it again the move from the NRM to Holgate is obviously Tornado after servicing. The diesel will have taken the stock to Holgate then Tornado will reverse the train back into York minus diesel. The diesel will then go back home alone to Carnforth.
