Bit late .

 

Heard a rumour that the 2 LSL 20s will be on this on Wednesday due to the weather condition not improving the fire risk

 

20096/107 with 47828 on the rear.

 

Fellsman / Fire Risk / 2x20s / Pleasington / 6L / 47mph / 17C / Diesels / Sorry

 

There is nothing wrong with a bit of variety. In my case these are as much a part of my "heritage" as steam, having originally seen them brand new. Was it really 65 or so years ago?

 

I doubt that anybody watching the live pictures from Wennington last night, where peoples homes and vehicles were being consumed by fire, would criticise the use of diesel or electric locomotive power at the moment.

 

D8107 +D8096 tnt 47828 seen at Selside Cottages and Birkett Common.

 

With the weather being what it was, you probably got more visible exhaust from the 20s than you would from a steam loco at this time of year, fire risk or no.

 

Out of interest has any other steam tour ever watered at Horton in Ribblesdale

 

Presumably Mr Smith won't sell any of his Appleby water to Mr Hosking?

Or more seriously, maybe the extra 30 odd miles from Appleby to Crewe compared to Horton in Ribblesdale to Crewe would stretch the tender's capacity?

 

46100 seen crossing Ribblehead Viaduct and Birkett Common.

 

Excellent video Nige..great mood and viewpoint at Ribblehead.

 

Thanks David, much appreciated.
