    That's a relief then. As long as nothing is wrong with the loco.

    There was nothing wrong with the loco, the loco in general is quiet.

    The loco does not need to be worked hard when running with 33021, in fact we let the 33 do the majority of the work as 69621 is only a class 3 power classification.

    Regards

    Just been watching the Royal Pageant.

    Fantasy time;- Now wouldn't it be spiffing if all the Railway Pres sites got together and put on a similar 'file-past' of all or most of the pres locos in Britain? Wow!

    Must try calm down a bit now.

    Any news on when the S160 is going to be in action. Looking forward to seeing steam going up to Cauldon Low without having assistance from the back.

    With like 2 months till the Diesel Gala, is there any hints of what the visiting locomotive is? From the CVR site "The home fleet and a visitor."

    33021, 33102, Shunters? Dmu? And TBC?    :clap2:

    Struggling to get the overhauled air pump to work correctly, which is all that is holding her back from undergoing running-in trials.

    Are the loco brakes themselves air, or steam? I'm guessing air.
