Crazy how much of a difference a day makes! Awesome pics everyone as usual - and I suspect more to come.

Thank you to all who contribute.

 

Today's run with Tornado at Lazonby...


Tornado at Fiddlers Lane

 

Nice run up the long drag with 60163 from Preston to Carlisle and also a success with 60103 F.S. on the south leg despite the diesel been in tow on 12 Carriages inc, S.C. I hope it was a great day out.

60103 at Stockber in the fading light with the work being done from the diesel .

 

I would love an explanation for that total shower. Coal, water, loco fault etc ?? I think its safe to say Tornado takes the plaudits today.

 

Is it just me or has the train dropped off the radar since arriving at Hellifield?

 

Diesel now on the front, confirmed by A1SLT.

 

Well there you go Liam, it's because it failed.

I seriously can't believe we're going through this bloody topic again. It's not shoving for the sake of it or because the driver just gets bored. The diesel is there in case of leaf fall (like yesterday), poor weather (like yesterday) or failure (like today).

It's just ridiculous that people can't seem to understand something so pathetically simple.

 

Well said!

 

It was pretty obvious to me and Nige at Stockber that the diesel wasn’t pushing for nothing especially as once up close there wasn’t any exhaust beat from FS and even the fireman had his feet up sadly. Fire problem perhaps but not being an expert can’t really say .

 

The 21st October 2021 and LNER A1 No.60163 'Tornado' and LNER A3 No.60103 'Flying Scotsman' are seen heading over the Settle & Carlisle Railway.

I’m not sure that much steam should be emitting from the side of a steam loco!

 

It’s coming out the chimney and it’s windy?

 

Reports of a safety system failure on 60103 on FB tonight, dont shoot the messenger!!!

 

One from each way today, very lucky in the evening at Cotehill.
