I've managed to upload my footage from today at Cross Gates, didn't go out for the return Stuart was too busy shopping in Leeds :-k

Just a small note about the KWVR at the weekend, we can now reveal that we will be on board the cab of 957 on Friday leaving shed at 08:20 with the Jinty, hope to see plenty of you about.

The footage will be available on the Part 3 DVD available Monday.

I'm a bit jinxed with "Scots Guardsman" and the weather, today was no exception.

Scarborough bound this morning in glorious technidullour!

Homeward bound in lovely weather but no exhaust!

 

After driving through a thunderstorm I arrived at Giggleswick in bright sunshine to see Scots Guardsman heading for home.

 

Nearly came back myself for its return but for really heavy rain showers and for most of the late afternoon the other side of Pendle !! looks like I missed some more great shots

Somewhat surprisingly the Scot was still being fired only five miles from Carnforth. A couple of clag shots here:

If there were no passengers on board, does anyone know the reason for the trip? :-k

4 pics from yesterdays run to Scarborough and back starting at http://philmetcalfe.fotopic.net/p59145436.html

 

A couple of people at Hellifield were making reference to a helicopter following thr train between Leeds and Scarborough - some thoguht is was for a tv commerical possibly for the Scarborough Spa - not sure if this is true or not though

 

Must have been standing next/near to you on the leaving Hellifield shot. Was the "near Otterburn" shot taken on the return? It seems a good place to capture Leander on the KWVR shuttles at the weekend' been looking on google earth & os maps for the position.

John

**EDIT** - must have been on the return - no way could you be in the two places for the distance apart & speed of the moving train.

 

Hi John
Yes we must have been next to each other at Hellifield (i had the video camera as well )

Yes the Otterburn shot was on the return, arrow points to the spot http://www.streetmap.co.uk/map.srf?x=38 ... 57210&lm=0

Thxs phil - exactly were i thought it was

cheers John

 

Well they did still have 5 miles to travel and they'll no doubt have to perfrom some form of shunt once they get in so it's not really suprising at all?

 

Fire to the needs of your engine not to a plan or location, something like that anyway.
