Black 5 No. 45231 'Sherwood Forester' working the northbound 'Lakelander' rail tour approaching Scout Green and on to Carlisle



With Blackcombe Fell as a backdrop Black 5 No. 45231 'Sherwood Forester' powering the return 'Lakelandser' rail tour through Kirksanton and to Millom for the waterstop



Not a lot of exhaust today but the wonderful bark climbing Dalton Bank more than made up for it

She did well to take 12 + a 47 over Shap. Saw her on return near Grange and she was fairly rattling along, noticeably quicker than what we see normally.
