26D_M gefällt Oswald T Wistles Beitrag in dem Thema Northern Belle 2026.
Tangmere on the front of a Northern Belle steam special is hardly the hottest ticket in town, throw in a week of hot, dry weather and Oswald began to wonder if it would be worth the effort. I took him to one side and gave him a bit of a pep...

One of the problems with charter trains is that they regularly stand for long periods so the flow through toplights is lost and you're effectively in a hot house.

The K1 has been expected to be ready for 12 months but there's been no work for it up there because the stock is air braked. It also ties up the Riley pair when there's a lot of work in England demanding air braked locos, with only 1.5 available...

Yes, that's the point I was making really, an air set is a compromise because there is a limited number of locos fitted to haul it. Look, it's always worked so no doubt it will continue to do so but let's not pretend it's perfect. For one thing...
