LE Movements and Test Runs 2013.

If Tangers has/had firebox problems, then I'm a bit mystified as to what she is going to Carnforth for................................... she was producing enough clag this morning!

The convoy seen passing Carpenders Park, I only just managed to get the shot as the Euston stopper was rolling into the platform at the same time.................

Shame about the box, but hey ho!

 

5Z42 47245, 70013 & 34067 Southall WCR to Carnforth Steamtown:

 

Ollie and Tangers depart Southall

 

Evening All

I was unable to see 45231 earlier today due to prior commitments but Martin Wood sent me 2 photos taken at Mirfield of 37516 towing 45231 from Crewe-York in place of A4 60009

The fire on Ollie seems to have been a bit lively for being dragged by a diesel, I understand light steam for lubrication etc but that seemed a little more than that!

 

When they passed thorugh Manchester Victoria, the formation was 70013 (leading) + support coach + 47245 (rear). I'm guessing that this was so that the whole formation could turn on Miles Platting triangle so that 70013 was the righ way around for the 1T57 re-creation on the ELR (apparently Castleton triangle isn't available at present).

 

With 45231 going to crewe, pleasant surprise, I would imagine that she be at the head of the North Wales Coast Express on Sunday as 45305 being originally advertised.

What happened with 9?

 

Reported elsewhere No9 in need of tyre turning.

 

Cripes, hope that is a quick job!

 

I see one of Riley's 5s failed at Oxenholme last night whilst on there way to Bury.

 

anyone know whats up with the 5 which was taken off at Oxrnholme and why the 37 stayed with her. here is a shot of 45407 passing Leyland rather late http://www.northwestrailphoto.co.uk...album=lastup&cat=0&pid=2576#top_display_media

 

Hot box I believe , not sure if it went to Carnforth or Bury .

 

both are still at Oxenholme I believe, if not they certainly have not progressed further than Carnfroth

 

45

45407 made it to Bury as the picture above suggest. Whilst 44871 should still be at Oxenholme.

 

seen times in the system for return to Carnforth later today

Ilvaporista,

You asked about Ollie, its a bit hard to tell with the box on the front, but in this video if you are patient (and keep pausing etc) you will find what you were looking for!...... Ollie......... hope it helps.

 

Thanks, in memory of an old friend and drinking partner...

 

Nice touch!
