Dalesman 2018

I assume show pony steam isn't an option due to the severity of the fire risk in that area ??

 

See post 199. Not clear if that means LNW zone or the entire network but the deal for the S and C referred to by Mr Shuttleworth is clearly off for the moment, correctly IMHO. Saddleworth, Tameside and Winter Hill have been a game changer and no 'unnecessary' risks can be taken from a public perception point of view.

Ed Just read on another site that it was actually a loco problem today so above might be wide of mark.

 

An issue with the 8F, before it left Carnforth. Steam ('Leander') agreed for tomorrow, with diesel inside.

so, half right then Andrew....review your source.....

PS your updates are much appreciated Andrew, especially when James isn't available...Cheers.

 

Pity it's not this kind of 37. Now that's more like it. In dreams only,

 

My mates footage at Birkett of 5690 .

 

Any ideas what's working tomorrows train?

 

Be interesting to see what the fire risk is, it has hammered it down in south Cumbria for a lot of the day!

 

Might be revised downwards as they seem to set the risk level on Mondays. But who knows...

 

8F on Dalesman today, 17th. AN

 

Is that with a diesel or is it running solo

 

With diesel AFAIK. AN

 

Thanks

 

Just passed H-I-R webcam. 8F with either a 47 or 57 immediately behind.

 

won't be a 57, they're all Air brake only.

 

47 237

 

48151 came to a near stand just North of Kirkby Stephen station but the signal can’t have been against the train as the unit went South at least an hour earlier. The 47 that had been idling then kicked in big time as it went into the station oddly.

 

Yes it was odd to say the least Ralph. Did video it but no sound due to user error but my mates footage will be up soon.
