The footplate was manned. AN

 

At least they are all nicely colour coordinated,

 

35018 allox Carnforth - Hellifield today Fri. Normally deps Carnforth 1145. AN

 

Is the headcode for that 5M50 please?

Thank you

 

So she's doing the full circuit?

 

Looks like she is down for the full circuit On the realtime track map...she is on the back road at Carnforth now.

 

Word is that she will be running the full loop via Blackburn. Think I’ll head to Wilpshire

 

Well...she's off into the black hole between Carnforth and Settle Junction ! Hope to see some pics/vids of a leak-free BIL later!

 

Indeed. Although, any wiff of steam will no doubt bring pages of entertainment...

 

Naughty!...but so true

 

8 minutes early into Hellifield GL, but reports elsewhere say leaking steam on the fireman's side. Fingers crossed!

 

Unfortunately not, at least leaving Carnforth. And beware the wind!

Afraid 35018 reported to have failed at Hellifield 1400. It was running without a diesel, dunno if it can make it back to Carnforth without assistance. AN

 

Damn....sorry to hear that. If needs be, no doubt a diesel can be sent from 10A.

 

Ran out of coal apparently

 

Now back at 10A.
