Neil

 

Will be booking myself on this as a birthday treat. Anyone else going?

Andy

 

Is it sad that I fully intend to book myself on the 14th feb outing as my birthday treat? Anyone on that?

Hayley

 

Anyone know which loco is on the Cotton Mill 31st Jan yet?

Neil

 

Black with sixteen wheels...............

 

Woooo! Black 5 and a possible trip to Blackburn to see it pour moi!

 

When did you build the Lickey banker?!

 

Wasnt that an 0-10-0

 

With a six wheel tender, so had sixteen wheels.

 

Wasnt it 8 wheeled... I'll believe you!

Well anyway, could also have been the LMS garratt 47994...

 

I'm usually on as many as I can make (slightly late response!)
Ready for another round of 45407 up Copy Pit?

 

What about...

 

OK i was wrong. On the few occasions it happens I am able to accept it!

Big Bertha did have 16 wheels in total...

 

Is the 47/57 on the rear going to be a permanent thing?

Neil

 

It was on last time due to problems with the stocks steam heat, too many leaks i think it was so ETH was used which needed a diesel on the back.

Alex

 

Not on the Cotton Mill Express, no.

Certain trains do have a smelly on the rear for ETH purposes........lets face it, it's only the cranks that don't mind the cold.......

 

Looking forward to next weekend and the return of the Cotton Mill Express.

Will be having a look around for somewhere different around Huddersfield to go and film though. The crossing near Bradley is good but I've been there nearly every trip last year.

I'm convinced that there must be a good 'long range' shot available from the top of Blackley but it needs looking at.

Anyone else any bright ideas?

 

Glad to hear the diesel isn't a permanent thing.
On the 13th December we were baked in the club car....
