Over 14 hours!

 

On the 35018 thread in 'Steam Traction it is reported that 35018 and 60009 are moving from NRM to Carnforth tomorrow:

Just thought I would mention that 46233 duchess of Sunderland ,has passed Milton Keynes 12.25pm today.
On its way to Crewe heritage centre.

 

Missed this. Details below

With No.9 continuing on to the ELR

Worth an afternoon trip out to Woodacre methinks

 

Good spot! Tantalisingly close to the date of the final CME of the year but due to be hauled by 45690 ........ :-?

 

Sunderland!!!!! I know its going to be painted Red soon, but.....

 

No.9 (and I presume BIL) have left York and heading towards Colton

 

Yes - pictures from York station in the 35018 thread...

 

I wonder if they'll turn No.9 at 10a?

 

Can't see any reason why not, 45mph on the WCML down to south of Wigan would I assume be hard to accommodate.

Edit - However RTT suggests that the move from York is due to arrive at the loops at 1602 and the move to Castleton (which is timed for 60mph) is due to set off at 1605 - so therefore in conclusion, no idea!

 

Post on the BIL threads reports chimney 1st at Leeds.

 

38L from Carnforth. Glad I didn't set off out now....took a leaf out of Henry Winskills book...looked at the cloudy sky and thought 'nah!'

 

Only 3L off Oubeck Loops, the original schedule strangely seems to have allowed 27 minutes from Carnforth to Hest Bank.......

 

RTT shows movement in and out of York Yard North from Holgate, with ample time, only my presuption buy guessing the time was taken turning both before departing Holgate the second time.

Is it a trick of the light or has 60009 had a bit of a whack on the front end? Just in between the fireman's side lamp and the high intensity lamp.

They liked the striped cab so much they decided to go with red and white stripes all over and a re-name?

 

Apologies for the thread drift - but if they did that they'd have to relegate the power classification...sorry Sunderland fans!
