    Interesting videos. Leaking steam when under power it would seem. It looks as though the day has not gone well again. That's desperately sad for those working on BIL at Carnforth.

    Those in the know have previously said that WC has a good network to draw on expertise from Bulleid owners elsewhere, if indeed they need that help. I only hope that they can get the loco into the kind of condition that will give them confidence to trust it on a revenue earning charter as I suspect that they are in need of a Class 8 in as fine fettle as it appears their Jubilee stable mate is at present.

    Its interesting that when coasting the leak is not present, i'm assuming the driver would keep a breath of steam on to cushion the valves, what ever the problem is, clearly is not an easy one to sort out as the leak is evidently not fixed each time and can't be tested at slow speeds with in the confines of the yard i know how hard it can be to find and mix such problems, and to use the mainline must be problematical i wonder if Carnforth might be better sending it to ELR where it can be ran without smoke deflectors at heritage line speeds with some kind of camera gear to highlight where the leak is and what is causing it, then once fixed ,it can be worked back with some ecs to test it at mainline speeds ?

    Why send it to the ELR when they could run it to Hellifield and back at heritage railway speeds?

    I don’t think they need any special camera gear to highlight where the leak is!

    As for drifting with steam on, it’s not the only way to drift/coast. Different owning groups prefer different techniques, Scotsman for example around 25% and no regulator.

    could they rig up cameras on the running plate and around the cylinder and run it without smoke deflector on the mainline? as a means to see exactly where the leak is and stop and examine on an NR line?

    There are only 5 trains per day in each direction in a 12.5 hour window. Plenty of space and time.

    Do you really think the source of the leak is a mystery to them!?

    I’ll give you a clue - MNs are Outside admission

    I assume your refering to the valve spindle glands, yes i will admit they are hard to keep steam tight, and the fact that the leak goes away when the valves are closed would make you think its a gland problem, but i don't think its just the glands leaking by

    Has Olly Cromwell departed from Norwich yet finished work about 25 past 12 tonight (24/2) heard something on the Ely-Cambridge bit of the Mainline, sounded a bit steamy, I didn't have a view of the track though, just wondered if it was a certain Brit making it's way back to Southall? Any ideas?
