60019 has certainly failed with exhaust injector problems, don't know about the tour operator's contingency plans.

 

passed ferme park about half an hour ago. 37/7 leading the stock into kings x, with 47/7 on the front. Couldn't get the numbers from the train i was on

 

All these unreliable kettles! Good old oil burners coming to rescue the day

 

Tears.

 

I'm, going back to bed, then!

 

...what's to become of Sunday's excursion then,we live in hope.

 

Ah! But remember, in the good old days steam was regularly used to cover for failed diesels!

 

Nope......was still in my pram.....lol....

 

Maybe 30777 outward 6024 will be at Yeovil so it could work the tour back to London,

via Basing and Reading? Let's see what happens.

47245 alone on the tour, 37516 doing shunt moves at KGX.

 

its not all steamers, just the northern ones!

 

haha

still NORTH eastern,
if it aint southern

 

So 46115 was an Eastern loco when it blew the middle big end.

 

A quick clip from this afternoon. With nothing better to do with my time, I had a quick trip over to Colton. Nothing special, a storm was on it's way so the wind had picked up, cars parked everywhere. Pitty about 60019 had quite a nice location I wanted to try... Hopefully she'll be back fit again.

I presume those guys hadn't heard the news in advance...Bittern had taken a turn for the worse with another tummy ache.

 

No a lot of them didn't know... Quite a lot of them at the other side of the bridge stayed after I'd left... Whether they were waiting for some freight or something I haven't a clue. I was more concerned about getting back and not having to drive through the heavy rain that was heading that way...

 

Of course it was Ralph. That Philosan must be real strong stuff.
