Is this something to do with the BBP? If so, is it 60163, 35028, a diesel or something else? Anyone know anything?

 

60163 & PO Brake on trial after maintenance.

Also Belmond British Pullman Surrey Hills will be diesel hauled on 31/3/2017.

Bugger. I was going out to film that.
Thanks for the update.

 

There is a movement from Butterley MRC to Bury ELR today. I am not sure if it is steam ?

 

It's a Class 40 and Saloon coach.

 

Yes, D345. It's the move that should have taken place last Friday but didn't because of a fault on the loco.
Due back at Castleton 17-34.

 

There doesn't appear to be any activity on the RTT schedule for Tornado's test run tonight. RTT playing up or 60163 not quite ready yet? The schedule was activated this afternoon.

 

I'm guessing they had a screw loose.

 

Now been cancelled "due to a delay not investigated (OU)".

 

Cheers. Clearly she wasn't ready/fit to go.

His Lordship returning from his weekend at the seaside?

 

Looks like 45231 on 5M51 test from Carnforth (1151) to Hellifield today. Also 45699 coming home from Southall (0945) 5Z43. HTH, AN

 

The end of 18 months hibernation for 45231

 

45231 should be moving from Carnforth (dep 1920, 5Z31) to Crewe tonight Mon. AN

 

Anyone able to advise who currently owns 45231 please ?

The railway press reported about 18 months ago it had been acquired by the Royal Scot & General Trust to become part of the IoS stable. At the time it was said to be fitted with parts belonging to another loco as part of an undocumented arrangement with the late former owner pending new components being manufactured. This seems to have held up the final transfer of ownership.

 

Thanks for the responses chaps

 

Did anyone see Galatea yesterday? I presume she was towed in light steam, with the equivalent of heavy strapping and an ice-pack on the wounded parts.
