    One of 46115 , Lizzie or 35018 perhaps as 13 and a deadish 47 might be a bit much for a Jubilee :(

    As per my previous post the max for a class 8 in leaf drop season is 11, this was loading 13 so who knows, we are on next week so fingers crossed!

    That’s the max loading for unassisted steam. With the requirement for a diesel on the rear for turning at Carlisle alone, running single headed won’t be an issue. 35018 took all Shap runs single headed last year.

    Thank you, kind sir. I forgot to mention that the insides of the coaches were decorated with tinsel and baubles and snowflakes on the windows; a top effort from start to finish. I'd also like to thank you and the others who photographed and videoed the train - some excellent images brightening a dismal day (weather-wise).

    It will most likely be the opposite of last week as the train turns at Carlisle. Since I believe that 1st (A) was at the front then this time it will be at the back.

    Any smoke signals from Carnforth of likely motive power?

    Possibly so but the whole train turns at Carlisle, so unless WCRC turn the whole train between runnings (or re-letter all the coaches) Coach A will be on the back come the second running?

    Ah see beaten to it above.

    ;) Re lettering would really confuse all the on board staff as A to D are always 1st class and we wouldn't know if we were coming or going if they were G to K. Mind you that's normal for some of us senior citizens. o_O

    A big green cloud of smoke has been seen.

    That slightly narrows the options unless the green paint brush has been busy elsewhere in the shed!

    The word Big narrows it down a lot.
