The RAILTOURER Scarborough Spa & Wolds Steam Special 19.09.2012

Could not find anything on here but 44932 was pretty much on time when it passed through Selby last night. According to a report she thrashed Hunmanby Bank with 13 on.
A video clip in the fading light is below and big thanks go to Mark Walker for on train timing updates.

Looked and sounded pretty good when I saw it just south of Beverley then again at Welton last night.

Here's a picture, the best I could manage with a low sun and rapidly lengthening shadows

Unfortunately the light faded rapidly at Welton just before it arrived so couldn't manage a reasonable photo

 

Excellent day out yesterday. 44932 was easily master of its task admittedly with dry rails. The sun shone for the organisers and the crowds came out to ride and to view. A level hour from the water stop at Anlaby Road Jct in Hull back to York via Hambleton start to stop. How far is that? With the slow through Selby, that felt like quite smart running. With 44932 en route to Carnforth today, that performance makes me think 45305 might be in line for at least some of the Stanhope, Wensleydale and Hadrian runs vice 70013.

 

Looks a good evening shot to me.

The performance up Hunmanby bank was particularly good,it just seemed to walk away with 13 on the back on the steepest bit which is off the platform end!

Starts with the brilliant climb of Hunmanby bank up to Speeton,the first 5 minutes been the best bit with 44932 maxing about 10mph on the 1 in 80.

Cheers Ralph. There is a nice soundtrack

 

thanks for the comment Mark, was lucky with the light, a huge black cloud was over the scene for ages, moved very slowly, just cleared at the right time.
