Mega Move (60009/60007) (Subject Edited)

Re: Mega Move (60009/60163/60007)

IIRC Tornado is maybe better placed than most tender engines for a spot of tender-first mileage as certain gauges are replicated on the tender front eg brake pressure etc?

 

Re: Mega Move (60009/60163/60007)

60007 will no longer be moving from Grosmont-York NRM tommorow due to a fracture in the steam pipe to the atomiser but should still make it to Barrow Hill by Friday. 60009 will still be running from Thornton to York NRM tomorow but not sure as yet if she will make the move to Barrow Hill by her self Tuesday or wait for 60007 to come from Grosmont.

Cheers jamieP

 

60009 plus support coach left York station at 1202 today en route Barrow Hill.

 

Two hours late!

Not Impressed.

 

After the 4MT and Black 5 with the Tin Bath on sunday, then 2 A4s and the A1, the good people of Sheffield are going to think that the railways have gone back to steam traction.

5 steamers in a week is a total rarely seen even in York and Carnforth.

 

Yes 2 hours late, I gave up at York and went to work!

 

She wasnt late just re-times to 11:55 and left 1 min late.

 

Is this running tomorrow,i don't want to go on the 8 mile bike ride if it isn't!!!

 

60007 and support coach left York station at 1550 today en route Barrow Hill.

 

'Sir Nige' passed old Ackworth Station at 17.05, about 25 late - PTK

 

I was at work looking on my phone at UKsteam for Sir Nigel tomorrow, and noticed it was today 4:00 out of York, I knew I could make it down to the footbridge, and I did with 1o minutes to spare as I'm walking up the street I hear light steam, and run up to see it passing 10 mins early!

I wonder if they gave 'Sir Nige' a drink at Milford? - PTK

Shame, was looking forward to seeing some pictures of the 'STEAM HST' set !!!!

 

I believe they are both tagged together on the return to York from Barrow Hill on Monday =P~

 

Yes that correct. Double headed to York. My mate on board the footplate of 60009 is looking forward to the move.

 

Gooddd
Should be good if the sun keeps out [-o<

Any idea of which ones on the front??

 

A4's 60007 and 60009 on a light engine movement from Barrow Hill back to York on the 6th April seen passing Colton Junction, bang on time

Fantastic sight! Just lacked a little bit of sun, never mind!

The website server is still down :swear: therefore this is on the temporary server too, therefore the banners etc... probably won't work.

Footage Available Here

 

Yes I was looking forward to the move and was a great trip back to York. Arriving 23 mins early.
