After much faffing away 36 late.
Has Clan Line passed its FTR?
Here's my log of the return. A good start from Bristol and I calculate 895 edhp for the acceleration from St Annes to Keynsham. Another good...
Yes thanks Shireman for that super write up! It was indeed an enjoyable day, and in good company. Here's my log of the outward run. The 30 slack...
Nice run to Brizzle to Bath and going well up the bank from Trowbridge but checked to 5mph after Westbury by late unit. Rallied to 23 on the 1:70....
So, apart from the initial shove out of Victoria we have 45212 with load 10. Some delays in the suburban area so a few mins late leaving Woking....
I did mention I booked partly because of Uttoxeter line and they said only change could be avoiding Derby, so assume it would simply go via Castle...
Rec'd email from UKRT on behalf A1ST advising rescheduled for Sat 29 Sep 2018. Email says may not be able to call at Derby due to engineering...
Agree that air braked makes sense. Or having vac braked rescue loco shadowing tour. But don't agree with latter. I wasn't on the Tangers trip...
Correct. Outputs on those severe banks have been greater than the brief 2,225 edhp I recorded on Saturday. Absolute power outputs for high speed...
Yes that's a nice gesture and I will be signing-up for any re-run of the Ebor Flyer. I have sent my timing log to the A1ST in case it helps their...
We have apparently hit something on the track and loco failed. Awaiting assistance.
90 at East Rd LC, now at a stand before Sandy.
KGX Potters Bar 19m 33s. 57 max on the 1:200 thro New Barnet.
Diesel uncoupled. Ready for the off. Air con on.
Thanks for that. Thanks also to MellishR for compiling the schedules - very helpful and saved me the bother. Similar chasing down applies on the...
IIRC its been done in 74 mins. It'll take 4 mins to get back onto the ECML so 70 mins from the loop is equivalent to say a 68 minute booking from...
Yes these are very good paths! Tallington to Stoke Jn is 15 miles, booked 12 mins on the outward and 10 mins on the return. So 75 mph uphill and...
Does this mean diesel on the back as well? Or can the genny cope with the ETH? Would prefer Mk1 at 75 with opening windows so can hear loco, than...
Yes I do appreciate all of that. I usually calibrate the GPS at start of each day and am fully aware it will be affected by changes in air...
