Hi All

Firebox problems apparently.

Seen in Lockerbie up loop at 19.15, awaiting its path behind a TPE train. Quite a surprise to see it.

 

What's rain? Never heard of that here. Always sweating our n*ts off.

 

You were well lucky to see it as it was running 95 min early :smt002

 

And another pic near journey's end here:

nice pic mate, erm, what does SB stand for?

Doh!! thanks Ralph, I thought well it dont mean light engine!!!

WCML looks to be good on Friday with D1015 going to Inverness and with the K1 going back to Fort Bill \/

Ta Again ;-)

 

I'll be looking out for D1015 tomorrow, its a bit rare, but wonder if the K1 will be leaving early morning,

any idea anybody?

 

Early morning! Leaves Carnforth at midnight and travels through the night, I'm looking forward to seeing your photos!

 

Will it be a VSTP path to Fort Bill :-k

I'm told there aint any 5Z workings out of Carnforth in the system yet :-k

 

I'm not sure what you mean by a VSTP, I'm not up on the jargon, is this a Very Special Train Path. Also its not a 5Z working as I dont think theres any of them left anymore, its a K1 working.

All I know is its midnight out of Carnforth, 2 pm in at FW with the usual water stops.

 

VSTP = Very Short Term Planning
