    Looks like this is going ahead for Thursday. Timings are up for the light engine movement from Carnforth, and for the trip itself.

    Light engine: http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/U52153/2019/06/06/advanced
    Outward run: http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/U52152/2019/06/06/advanced
    Return run: http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/U52155/2019/06/06/advanced

    The chosen motive power remains anonymous, although I've heard it could either be 6201 'Princess Elizabeth' or 45690 'Leander'??

    Is that a milk float in the background? Nice period element, but for how much longer?

    Not a milk float unfortunately, but an enterprising sandwich van.

    Leander, in a hurry to get home, opens the Regulator wide and makes a dash for home from the signal at the North end of Lancaster Station.



    there is a forum? for Steam Dreams Trains already, but so what!

    Also, this should be in light engine moves etc and sorry for not taking me tripod, was in a meeting, and left early to see it.

    Nice aesthetics when the driver cracked the reg open on the up fast starter signal at Lancaster station lovely staccato bark.:) just wondered why 45690 wasn't kept at Crewe heritage centre for the Scarborough flyer on 8.5.2019 servicing re coaling the tender perhaps?
