    Talking of getting back on track........

    With stuff all on the box last night, I had a trawl through the archive & happened upon this from 2009 - when she was basically fresh out the box.

    https://www.flickr.com/photos/duty_druid/44878734672/

    Had a mad weekend Oop North - saw both runs that weekend - got soaked to the skin at Hellifield on the Saturday - went over to the KWVR after - then back to Horton for a mad night in the pub watching the Crag Rats crawl in & Sunday witnessed her over Ribblehead before getting her at Appleby & then had the long drive back Darn Sarf - got home in the early hours of Monday morning shattered, but happy!

    SRPS Railtours website is now saying that Forth Circle tours on 13th October have been cancelled.

    The exact wording is

    We have been informed that repairs to Tornado have not been completed in time.

    Obviously disappointing that the tours have been cancelled, but it brings a smile to one's face to see the photographs of 60103 and 60163 running together most recently.

    I am looking forward to booking onto a tour for next year behind Big T.

    My Missis also still has the 'hump' over not going to Chester, then not going to Edinburgh.
    (perhaps if there were less projects on the go . . . . ........)

    Once stuck "not to be loose or hump shunted" on the side of one of those industrial wheelie bins at work.... (oddly enough, I can still remember fly-shunting being performed in the mid-70s)

    Tornado will now be hauling services on the 10th on the NVR, but not to/from Yarwell. (why?)

    The NVR car park was stuffed full when I went at lunchtime: the sold-out cream tea service was probably why!

    Does anyone know if Tornado has departed the NVR yet, or done the loaded night-time run?

    Headshunt is too tight for an A1 to run round at Yarwell.

    Ah, thank you - knew someone would know the answer! :)

    So is an A1 that much bigger than a BB then?

    Tightness of the pointwork rather than length isn't it?
