LE movements, ECS and test runs 2022

Fantastic image. Love the autumn colours of the WHL. Shame there isn’t a railtour back from Fort William at the end of the Jacobite season as there used to be.

 

Thats a beauty Steven!

 

Beyond stunning! Thanks for sharing.

 

Any news on where 45407 is at the moment

 

It was in Lockerbie loop .

 

Does anyone happen to know what is on this move (2/11/22) please, there is a return working a couple of hours later. Thank you!

5043?

 

Short time between arrival and return, and a 20 in head code makes me think diesel?

Also no 5 head code for loco with support coach?

Today's move from Carnforth to Northallerton now showing as Cancelled by Operator request on RTT

 

5Z45 45407 Lancashire Fusilier 20 late off Lockerbie as it heads back to Carnforth

 

20189 and 20142

 

Retimed for this afternoon:
Realtime Trains | 5Z45 1357 Carnforth Steamtown to Northallerton Rev Line | 02/11/2022

 

No water stop at Hellifield; so must be a diesel then?

 

There is a stop in the Goods Loop. Railcam shows the motive power as 45407. No diesel assistance mentioned. Left Carnforth early.

 

Water stop for 45407 is at Leeds. Light engine move so doesn't require a top up at Hellifield

 

Steam; might be worth getting wet then!

 

Kirkstall Loop I assume as she is only at Leeds 3 mins (albeit only at Kirkstall 9 so quite the splash and dash in either case)?

 

I am going out to see it but the weather is a) very windy, b) getting darker by the minute, c) cold and d) looking very much like lots of rain. Several layers are being donned as we speak! I will be siting in the car until I know it is minutes away.

 

No road access to Kirkstall loop in that direction so wouldn't have watered there. Last time I was on Leeds Station the water columns had been removed....
