2014 Fellsmans

If I might make a suggestion regarding this site so that you don't upset the local farming fraternity by blocking the narrow lane is to park at the end of the lane or on the side of the main road further up on your left and walk up the lane to the gate on your right for access to the field

 

Shep theres also a roughly tarmaced hardstand on the left hand side shapely after you come under the bridge. Further to walk but off the road.

 

Or you could always park in Settle and walk up the hill from the market place...............ten minutes as the pig flies!

Afterwards coffee in Settle at "Ye Olde Naked Man Cafe".

(no connection with "Ye Olde Miserable Man Cafe" in Kirkby Stephen)

 

There are also a load of 'Ye Olde Moaning Gits' on National Preservation

 

And afternoon and evening as well lol

 

And some NOT so old !

 

Nope - simply saying that if our younger members are showing unacceptable behaviour patterns they may be following the example of our older members so it may be worth our older members looking to the example(s) they set.

 

48151 with 47245 on rear working today's Fellsman, 30 July.

Thu Hoghton on time in drizzle. More smoke from the rear loco than front and the train galloping along.

 

Footage of 48151 on the return at a sunny but windy Crosby Garrett .

 

Like the video Steve..............but what's that white stuff!

 

Cotton wool ?

 

Nice one, Stephen. Sounds as though 48151 was doing a large share of the work, there.

 

Somehow, I did not think that 45231 was going to do this weeks train.

 

Thanks chaps , I think they had a dry ice machine on the footplate LOL .

 

Hindsight is a wonderful thing!

 

If (as appears from the video) the diesel wasn't even propelling itself, then that was a pretty heavy train, though perhaps not as heavy as the freight trains that Class 8Fs would have taken over the S&C. How heavy would those have been?
