Re: Scots Guardsman Loaded test run 6th Feb.

Footage of LMS 46115 Scots Guardsman on her loaded test run filmed by a good friend Mark.
Work commitments stopped me being able to catch the run but Marks coverage made up for that.

Thanks chaps. I think we know what's likely to be hauling The Lancastrian on Saturday now.

 

I think that the main reasons why she is being tested is to see
a. that she is ready for tours
b. too see what adjustments need to be made

I'm sure that the people at Carnforth don't want to have her back in the shed needing even more repairs in the near future. They really want to get this right.

Thanks Ralph , I had a feeling the Scot would not stop the full time at Hellifield so headed straight for Langho . Footage of 46115 at Clapham, Langho and Hoghton Bottoms in very blustery freezing cold winds . Steve https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nV9izL8gPJ0

That's not a cat - it's a furry hippo. Surprised it could waddle over the rails.

Re: LE Movements

Done! Some members don't check if there's already a thread ... oh, hang on, Ralph started the latest new thread. :doh::nono:

said cat was definitely trespassing, looks unrepentant and think has prior form for doing this judging by the confidence level.
I think the moggy needs be reported to the BTP as soon as possible and be brought back under the long claw of the law.
The fur ball can easily be identified, detained and cat nipped in the bud.
The whiskers of it even had the nerve to walk on both tracks.. Not just one.
next time bring a dog.. That'll get it under control.

Yeah, that was a really good test run on Wednesday. A bunch of people should be really pleased.
