The Fellsman 2013

So come on all you experts. Why is it late?

 

Been told it had a brake problem and stopped somewhere near Kirkby Stephen after losing 30 mins from Appleby to Kirkby. Video to follow at Newbiggin and the climb to Aisgill .

 

Todays Fellsman on the return at Newbiggin and on the climb to Aisgill with the dreaded drain cock blow ! Hope you enjoy . Steve

 

Nice film, but what a shame about that damn drain cock blow.

The going away sequence would otherwise make a lovely film ending shot. Heading into the distance, nice clag, sheep noise, just roll the titles!

 

Excellent Steve
Whats with the Hi viz at Newbiggin

Thanks Henry , did not really notice the Hi vis in the cab until you pointed it out mate so I see what you are talking about now. Steve

 

Footage of a very sick sounding 8F on Wilpshire Bank.



Thanks.

 

Thanks for the kind comment , the drain cock noise was deafening at both locations !

 

The 8F near Ais Gill and Kirkby Thorne on the outward leg and again at Kirkby Thorne then Kirkby Stephen on the return:

The 8f passes the 1875 built and beautifully restored Station at Cumwhinton

What a stunning photo....harps back to the days of summer and trainspotting as a schoolboy....many thanks for sharing

 

I noticed that the Hi viz is being hung at the fireman's side of the cab again

 

Hope we are not going back to the Hi viz antics on board 48151 on Beasdale several years ago

 

A regular railhead treatment rain! Who needs Sandite or Citrusol Rail? Leaf and slime buster!

 

It looked suspiciously like it to me. The difference these days, for us stills guys at least, is that a couple of minutes work in Photoshop will eliminate the problem!

 

You seem to getting the hang of this photography lark BEoC!!

 

What does B.E.oC Stand for lol

 

A stab in the dark Henry it could mean Bye Eck Old Cock !

 

For those of us ignorant to the facts, would someone care to expand?........................................................................
