Deltic Retro Scot 2 - Retro railtours

Has anyone got any timings for the above through Skipton on the outward leg?

 

Retro tours shows Wakefield Kirkgate pu at 0742 if that helps.

A few minutes after 9am.

 

Last confirmed time is 07:43 off Wakefield approx 9am souns about right - does anyone have confirmed timings past Wakefield?

 

The time you have is correct. I doubt it'll change at this late stage as the pax need to know when to turn up, but the way things have been going this past week, anything's possible.

 

the official times are now on Royal Scots Grey website, the Skipton time is shown as 9.03- 9.07

Nice Neil, the mighty machine out and about again. I hope it all goes well for everybody today.

 

The sheep don't seem too concerned as Royal Scots Grey heads through the Aire Valley this morning

Looks fantastic on a rake of air-cons., great photo by the way.

 

Whooshed past Garsdale in full sun, then I went and made a b***s of the shot, the camera was in "one shot" mode instead of AI servo! :doh: :doh:

I know the feeling, just hope I catch her this evening on the ECML.

 

Two shots nr Horton at http://philmetcalfe.fotopic.net/p65129668.html and http://philmetcalfe.fotopic.net/p65129670.html

 

My attempt at Settle Junction http://www.adriansphotos.fotopic.net/p65141243.html

 

These things happen - most of my best shots were taken (or rather not) when I left the shutter lock on. Honest. Perhaps you could crop it a little tighter, either excluding the right hand hut completely, or just cropping it part way along just after the 'window', then lose a bit of sky to balance the pic? It might not have been what you'd intended, but would balance the pic better and I'm sure you'd have plenty of resolution left for most uses.

 

That's a lovely shot Stuart, lovely composition.
