    This is a surprisingly difficult topic! Anyway, anything below 20.3 tonnes (note it's metric, not Imperial) is RA6 on NR. A Brit is around 20.5 tonnes, so is in a higher banding.

    Where are we with 44932 and 45212? Presumably they would have been OK going up Bempton.

    Seemed to lose over 10 minutes between Hazel Grove and Chinley. It was struggling through Bugsworth, sounding low on steam to me.

    Load 11. Cruised it all the way from Sheff and back to York. No dramas on the 1/150 banks. Clearly the Vale of York is Jubilee country. Now awaiting box at Milford.
