The Great Britain Tuesday 7th

47760?? Is that heading down too??


I'm off to get d1015 at rattery in the morning,
The Tour somewhere in cornwall, then between plymouth and exeter, and possibly above exeter somewhere, unsure as to where yet though!

 

Dunno,i know it is at Bristol,depends if they want a loco to release the stock at Penzance,55022 didn't have one last year though.

On GB1 i believe they took Ronnie and 47854?

Cheers,
Mark

 

Ah yeas, they did, very true...

we shall see in the morning then...

I hope it will be DIT, Dainton and Rattery should be good!!! =D>

 

Great Video thanks for posting

 

Cheers, shame the light was fading though.....

 

Great bit of video. Very atmospheric. Cant help but feel for the crew of 5029 though, seeing her go past.

Or the Great Britang?

 

A big thankyou is due to Mr Bunch and his crew for making sure we have a steam DH today. Cant wait to get out there!

See some of you at Hemerdon later I dont doubt!

Thanks for that.
Was going out to see Tangmere bringing the 2 support coaches up early,
as was planned with 5029, but won't need to now.

 

Channel,do you mean Now at? I can see them,looks like Tangmere is leading then!

 

Would I be correct in thinking Tangmere is leading because Cromwell is vac braked only?

 

That'll be the one ;-)

Edited.

 

I would say so as Western Champion was on the front for the same reason. (Cromwell is piped-through)

 

Cant get on it. Nat Pres users probably overloaded their server!!

 

Both wrong - the set is dual-braked and is being worked in vacuum throughout. Hobson's Choice as to which loco is leading.

Ok, well thats that

 

Off PZ 14.10 (about 70 late) after points and vac brake problems!

 

1HR 15M late @ Marazion
