    That a few years ago was a kit of worn out parts. The team must be congratulated on their achievement.

    But another thing to wonder about, if she were going on a test run where was the 37 that usually goes along?

    Just imagine the reaction if it had turned up as........................







    45562.




    I believe that there are parts of "Alberta" on 45699. Ghost in the machine. Nonetheless, an absolutely splendid achievement. Well done Carnforth.

    Cheers

    Here's hoping that they try again next week as there's this path booked for each day next week: Realtime Trains

    And a Blue Black Five (45491), or a Blue Manor (7822), if the railway press is to be believed... and dont forget a red 8F.

    Maybe this test run should be referred to as 45699 "Galeander" ?

    Great to see a jubilee moving again whichever it is. The cast of thousands seemed jolly too. Rather pathetic subterfuge but its entirely the business of wcr how they wish to expend their resources. What would the cost of the short sortie have been today?

    I wonder if the quick spray in Maroon does actually mean that 45699 will actually enter servce in LMS Crimson/Maroon, or was that just part of the quick identity swap with 5690? With the exception of "Hogwarts" hall, Mr Smith tends to prefer BR passenger liveries for his locomotives.

    As others have mentioned, the tender currently attached to Galatea looks in need of a bit of platework tlc, but maybe there is another unit being worked on.

    Nice to see it back though, was indeed a Barry wreck in extreme!

    Although WCRC get a fair bit of stick on here I will say they have done a grand job getting 45699 back to this condition. Bravo to all involved.
    She features quite a bit in the superb new Barry Scrapyard Book (highly recommended) and she was in a very, very bad condition, I'd say worse than 6023 and 71000. Good to see her back at last.

    Do keep up hughesfowler, its Galatea. No froth and dribble, just fact!!

    (thank goodness Mr Smith didn't have some Jubilee-sized nameplates made up for "Olton Hall".... or has he...? You never know!!)

    And with Chris Beet (owner of 5690) present during the filming of a video at Carnforth station that was linked from WNXX I take it that "fact" is definite ?

    Leander has been in the Beet family for decades, so who better to have present on Galatea's test run than a man who knows Jubilees inside and out and whose own locomotive is under overhaul at Carnforth right now?

    Slightly different Question, Is the Tender supposedly being used with "Galatea" - "Leander" The Riley tender that was "Green" and had a piece missing out of the side and is now Maroon with a replacement panel fitted??. Ian

    Well one and three quarter decades - Beet owned since 1995. Plus if you are gonna pretend it's Leander having the owner on the footplate adds to the ruse!
    Fred if you read back over the last couple of pages it explains the front end difference of Galatea's compared to the other preserved Jub's making it easy to spot an imposter ;)
