    Well done West Coast. More footplate crew needed, but considerably more power than a single Class 8 and much more adhesion to cope with nasty wet rails.

    Yes well worth the 5 hour round trip for this marvellous sight and sound over Shap. Great to see you today and I look forward to your company again very soon maybe on the S&C. Many thanks David we all did very well at High Scales today.

    Utter Stanier brilliance! That's the shot of the day for me, though a tough call it is with all the wonderful pictures from members today.

    For those who are of a pedantic nature a side view shows up the fact that this is a long firebox Jubilee and not Alberta which had the earlier short firebox.

    As someone who lives the other side of the country, West Coast take a bow because you've made someone's smile just a little bit bigger, two little words and they are Thank you

    Awful weather conditions could not spoil the surprise that Carnforth served up today with No. 45562 'Alberta' driven by Mick Rawling with Michael Middleton on
    the shovel pilots No 46116 'Scots Guardsman' driven by Steve Chipperfield and fired by Martyn Soames speed over Docker Bridge with first of this years 'Santa
    Specials' Roly Parker Guard

    Santa 2b.jpg

    Making a tremendous sight and sound and the drivers having change engines, the 'Santa Special' speeds south through Bessy Ghyll wood back to Lancaster
