Dalesman 2020

And you were right. I've already mentioned this re: the wreath on the front, but she really looked beautiful today at Hellifield. O.K. we had a bit of sun to make things shine, but everything was really gleaming. A credit to West Coast.

 

Footage of 46115 working hard past Horton this afternoon.

 

46115 northbound in the Lower Eden Valley with today's (01/09/20) Dalesman charter. Area was in full sun until...

On a day when the only engine needed to remember Mike Middleton 46115 is seen at a sunny Birkett Common.

 

Looking wonderful at Hellifield

A day of two halves but the evening sunshine exiting Rise Hill tunnel was rather nice:

Just got back home from Birkett, where the light behaved itself.

 

I had the two kids with me, so was keeping my distance from any videoing and their bleating!

 

Racing past Smardale on the return

 

Scots Guardsman seen passing Arcow Quarry and on the return from above Aisgill Viaduct in sun and gusty winds and also crossing the Viaduct.
