60009

“Boxing up” is a fairly common industrial term for “putting back together” after something has been apart for maintenance, not just with regard to boilers. “Get it boxed up and ready to go. “

 

Just by way of signposting to more information about the operation of this service through time (schedules/ diagrams/ rosters etc), and for those who are not aware of this source, its well worth taking a look at the LNER Encyclopedia, where you will find two threads with a total of around 55 posts devoted to the topic of the Scotch Goods. They are well worth a look for much more on this fascinating topic

Enjoy!!

 

Don't forget your passport! Seriously, we'll be out and about, look forward to seeing some faces again. Have a great day if you make it.

 

Lots of various meanings if you Google boxed up, but one that probably fits well is - to put things back where they should be, putting things away in their place. That seams to fit the bill (who's William, or is that a Lancashire thing? - William/Bill - LOL)

 

Is number nine rostered for Monday? Anyone?

 

I think I saw a message earlier in the thread that 60009 will be out at the end of May as some sort of work was needed

 

No,80097
29 May-4 June

 

Fingers crossed for the diner on 12 June, my birthday bash!!

 

Excluding the 1st June (no trains on Tuesday's)

 

60009 out on test ahead of its return to public service on Saturday

 

Hopefully all goes to plan, cannot wait to see it on saturday!

 

One of those wagons had a square wheel.

Thought some might appreciate seeing "the old girl" at work on Thursday at Irwell Vale

 

Racing south past Muchalls on the East coast 5 May 2019 having left the very familiar metals of Ferryhill.

 

Some video of No. 9 from 2nd and 4th June.

 

Between 1-10 and 1-30 was the new economy Lloyds Bank Advert.

 

So how long do we have to see her in steam? Is there any kind of itinerary out there for those of us who have distance to travel to get in a visit?
