    Are you suggesting that without its 'helper' 34067 would have held up Tornado? 11 coaches for a Bulleid up Shap should be well within capability...;) I am sure if any other one of us had suggested that on NP, the full wrath of 10A would have...

    To me they look like cylinder heads of an ICE engine, there’s more in the distance? Haven’t they just acquired a 350 shunt? Certainly to me not part of the rotary gear design as I last saw it? See link ….. https://www.a1steam.com/valvegear#/...

    Just reflecting on a fantastic day yesterday after a past midnight arrival back in Mid-Wales! My GPS made it 380 steam miles yesterday (from Wolverhampton), Tornado didn't miss a beat. Even when the diesel was on the back it hardly did a thing,...

    Got back back from a great day out at 21.15 and couldn't resist a quick look at the GPS data. Summit speeds Grayrigg (MP26) - 46.7mph, Shap (MP37.25) - 41.5mph, Ais Gill (MP260) - 45.7mph, Ais Gill Summit Board (MP259.75) - 46.8mph. All...

    It could be. I’ll check my photo files. Are you saying that the summit board isn’t actually at the summit? Edit : 2010 & 2019 it appears. I can’t find any evidence of my claim of 49 mph. 2010 was 48 over Grayrigg. I’ll check DoG too.

    I’ve been over the top at 49 with both Tornado and DoG long before the days of a box on the back. Can’t remember the loads off hand but I can find them

    OK, it's messy but I have just registered that this trip is one of four steam trips today on the Big Railway and two of them are running without assistance. Not bad for 2026, I think.
