Shot at Strensall today looking very smart in some decent weather for a change,

"The Scarborough Flyer"

 

Lovely shot Stuart

Superb shot Stuart under a classic sky.

 

Lovely shot, Stuart, showing her 'leaning into the curve', plus a decent first few coaches - no 'mix & match', although I see there's two colour stock further back.

Thanks for posting it.

Late at brighouse on the return.

 

would be nice to have a change in engines now for last few remaining weeks of it.

 

Dont count on it

I think the poor bookings is due to this, same loco on every week (just my opinion)
But that is Network Rail's fault with the Ouse bridge ruling, permiting a LMS loco onto East coast metals, and banning a LNER loco

Thanks for the comments guys, much appreciated :yo: and Ralph the Scarboro' shot is a favourite of mine as well.

 

What are the odds for 60009 then this week?

or is it safe old 46233 again?

Albert has done a good job this season driving 46233. I saw it going through Ravensthorpe last Friday and the photographers who were there got a perfect picture, sun, gleaming loco, Albert being "enthusiastic." Perfect.

 

Hope you placed your bet, it's 60009 this week

 

I feel sure Mr.Seymour will "adapt, improvise". He's a handy fella with a steam locomotive. :thumb:
After saying that I just hope t'owd lad doesn't put it in the River Ouse. :fear:

 

I would hope so. More locos built with 3 cylinders than 4 in this country. But I guess the Great Western locos needed that fourth cylinder to drag all that unnecessary copper and brass around.

 

Oh dear!!! better take cover

 

Better take cover behind more than a sofa, us GW people do not find your petty jokes amusing. :fencing:
