Fellsman 2020

Dandry Mire viaduct

 

Railway Herald showing 46100 for Wed 26th, I asked question before, but will this be 46100’s first preservation run over the S&C? Yes, was the previous answer. Unless I’ve missed something how is it the Saphos website has a “photo” of 46100 complete with Fellsman headboard heading south under the bridge at Angerholme?

 

It's the edited one of Scots Guardsman from previous years

 

Railway Herald was showing 46100 for last week's run, right until the time it ran wih Britannia behind it. Let's hope that this time there are no last minute switches. Has Britannia recovered from last weeks ailment yet? Heard nothing since Wednesday.

 

46100 per LSL.

 

After yesterday’s torrential rain this morning was dry when I left home. As I parked on Chapel lane at Hoghton steady rain began to fall. I was the only person on the overbridge. 46100 could be heard approaching as she whistled for the several crossings lower down the bank. About 5L she arrived, working steadily towards the nearby summit; my wave was acknowledged by the driver. (Always brings a smile - still a kid at heart.) No sanders and the diesel was merely ticking over. Once beyond the summit the exhaust beat quickened with the exhaust hanging in the trees. It’s stopped raining now.

Royal Scot debut

 

Very nice Ian,lovely light

 

Thanks Henry. 2020 has been a very shy year on nice light so far!

 

Yes Ian don't I know, Ive got plenty shots on S&C in crap weather so I'm lying in wait of fine weather .

46100 (or is it 46152?) makes it's preservation era debut on the S&C with the Fellsman on 26.08.20. It's entirely possible that this will have been it's first ever run across the line as the sheds it was allocated to in those far off steam days wouldn't normally have been associated with the former Midland line. (Cue, someone to produce a photograph to dispel that theory)! Top photo shows the northbound leg at Lazonby whilst the bottom image shows the return working in slightly better light.

 

You got sun too Steve, well done,the light on the last clip is crackin.
