Flying Scotsman

Bit of a drone war going on yesterday....LINK

 

Someone has broken the scotties whistle​

 

Been told 31456 has failed at Heywood .

 

NNnnoooooooooooooooooo

Don't do it Don.

Stick with 34092. We had two runs with that on 4th April 1964. Woking - Waterloo, then Waterloo -Woking. My only runs with it.

 

Not my video

but it appears the A3 was paired with the 31 again today, not 5407, for air supply.

 

Not sure if the 31 has failed then as it was info I was given Danny .

 

It'll all become clear later on Steve, preferably 31 failed than the A3 though.

 

hello
please keep the updates coming

 

Just seen the Scotsman and the 31 coming through Summerseat. Running about 80 mins late!

 

Looks like 45407 has been fixed now, so I guess it will replace the 31.

 

60103 going well up to Heywood, with the diesel only taking its weight. Lineside absolutely manic.

 

Footage from Saturday 9th January.



Hope you enjoy.

 

Awesome Phil...thanks for sharing

 

yes thanks phil im coming up tomorrow hopefully the black five will back and things run to schedule
regards

 

Black 5 replaced the 31 @ 4 pm

 

Thanks for getting lineside on a grey day in Lancashire Phil. Some great video of 103 captured there, caught the sound of 103 perfectly on the climb to Heywood, a perfect beat shows that I.R. certainly put the "buttons" in the right place when he set the valves - marvelous!! Many thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

Alan

What a difference a day makes; today's first departure from Rawtenstall running 70 minutes late due to problems with 45407 hence use of 31466 as "translator" vehicle for brakes.

 

Fred, I was to the back of you with the tripod. Was you the one who sneaked in last minute ? Was an awful morning.
