    Sad to see not many folk out for the Northern Belle today due to the weather especially with Four Seasons of weather expected :) No tremors expected but you never know with a black five .

    Glad that 45212 has the requirements to haul these tours. Wasn’t aware of that before July.

    Likely to be Tangmere if today's test run is satisfactory.

    looks like a stuck draincock, that's usually a disease of LMS and Standard engines.

    The 57 was doing nearly all the work as you couldn’t hear much from Tangmere .

    Isn't this loco bedding in some major work on the middle cylinder? Presumably the test run was judged to be ok but it surprises me not one bit that the diesel has been doing its fair share.

    To be honest Tangmere was doing the lions share on Shap with plenty of noise coming from her .

    Interesting choice of support coach in the form of Mk. 2D Brake Standard Open 9493, same as on the test run.
