    Nice shot of the B1 on Day 3 at Markinch with the diesel pushing away like a good 'un up the hill. (First clip and not my video)

    The double heading pair at the
    Dalwhinne water/pathing stop. Weather has again held out well with temperature into the 20’s in places. Unfortunately it doesn’t look set to stay but we can hope for the best!

    Quite a rarity in Carlisle station with three locomotives, in steam, and operational with there supporting train crews, side by side with the GBX1 on Friday.

    I attach a screen print from one of several videos uploaded to YouTube, to illustrate this - not mine I should add! Not the clearest of images, as there was the obvious scrum from people taking photos.

    You have to be very impressed with WCR for operating on the Friday, with at least four steam train crews, operating from Scarborough to Edinburgh, via York, Carlisle. Plus I suspect there was some form of diesel traction shadowing, or supporting, the GBX1, or at Edinburgh with another set of crews.

    Very good day on the Kyle line with 1264 putting on a very impressive display. Thought it may struggle on the first climb of the day, the 1in50 up past Fodderty, when she slipped violently metres in front of me but she dug in well on a damp rail.

    Hope everyone on board is enjoying it!

    This is quite a good video of day three of GBX1.

    Should be at this link – copy and past this if the link does not work.

    I hadn't realised until I saw this clip that GBXI took a working tailgunner all the way to Inverness over the Highland Main Line. Whilst I realise that the train was loaded to 11, I have to say that I'm mightily relieved that I did the GB last year with the Black 5, the K1 and 10 up. That feels to me like a broadly similar power/load ratio and it was a brilliant run each way. Can see that a few would have been displeased with this year's decision.

    i got the impression from the videos that the trailing LMS steam locos of the duo was not doing the work - the LNER seemed to be plenty, but the Brush type 4 on the back was doing a lot of banking work
    so was the D/Heading more for show due to the load 11 ISO of load 10 last year ?

    Well the southbound run has been without a diesel so like all things, there will have been a reason going north that we are not privy to. I don't think that West Coast play diesel games with the GB tour or much else actually.

    Just seen that 45212 will do the last two days of the trip, does that mean there will be a diesel on the back from Cardiff to Yeovil Junction? Not sure what load GB is this year so was just wondering. also does anybody know the formation from Yeovil Junction to Weymouth? My best guess is 45212 will work chimney first to Pen Mill where 31806 will lead chimney first to Weymoth (45212 banking up Evershot) for 45212 to lead up Bimcombe and on to Wareham,with 31806 banking of course. If its been mentioned sorry but just curious how they will work it.

    The Black Five should be comfortable with load 10, if allowed out on it's own !

    Let's assume that there will be no diesel on either Day 8 or 9. West Coast has been happy for 45212 to run 10 coach Steam Dream trips without a diesel so it's fair to guess that the same will apply for GBXI. I also see that a LE path exists from Southall to Victoria on Day 9 to collect the stock. That wouldn't be necessary if a diesel was attached from Swanage. So here's hoping.

    GB seems to be load 10 with only one support coach and I do not think 31806 has one at present. (BTW it just left Swanage LE about 15 minutes ago on what I assume is a quick test run). Your logic is my working assumption as the Black 5 needs to lead out of Weymouth to be the right way (and end) to go to Victoria on Friday. It appears to remain in P3 at Weymouth so must be T&T from Yeovil.
    More interesting is can a Black 5 take 10 up Parkstone Bank unassisted on Friday, past history does not bode well on that front and may be light rain as well if you believe the soothsayers at the Met Office.

    most likely it will be topped and tailed, 31806 at rear from Yeovil to Pen mill, 45212 leading, at Pen Mill the tour reverses, so the U class, leads with the black 5 at rear, At Weymouth, the 5 will lead with the U banking, to Wareham, where the U will lead the tour down to Swanage, I would assume 10 (9 with pob) is with in the limit for a 5 if not I would think there may be a box on the back,

    That's certainly how the Steam Tours website shows it http://www.uksteam.info/tours/t18/t0426a.htm
    Interestingly they show the 0Z26 positioning move to get 31806 to Yeovil in time to include a class 33. Unlikely, as Swanage's mainline 33 is currently at Ruislip and the Real Time Trains path for that trip is timed at 45mph implying it'll be solo and tender first at times. http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/U53361/2018/04/26/advanced
    Most likely it will run smokebox first from Swanage (and from Weymouth) and both locos will be turned on arrival at Yeovil Junction so that they top and tail tenders-to-the-train on the Yeovil -Weymouth -Wareham -Swanage legs.
