THE LAKELANDER MAY/JUNE/JULY/AUGUST 2010

Re: Any Interest in THE LAKELANDER?

Had a look at your pic of Ravenglass viaduct, looks like you were stood just down from me. Very nice, both shots.

 

Re: Any Interest in THE LAKELANDER?

Great pics and vids already posted -- Phil.sez, I must have been behind you at Eskmeals. Here is my footage from Saturday

Re: Any Interest in THE LAKELANDER?

Loverly, looks like you had some great weather for it too.

 

Re: Any Interest in THE LAKELANDER?

decisions, decisions, 44932's inaugural passenger carrying run or will you be heading for Copy Pit?
it now has cabside numbers, which will you be going for?

 

Re: Any Interest in THE LAKELANDER?

I thought 5690 was hauling tomorrow's Lakelander?

 

Re: Any Interest in THE LAKELANDER?

5690 aint ready yet, both 46115 and 44932 were being coaled at 5pm friday(see short video) , no sign of 5690, however 5972 was beside them.
44932 looks well with British Railways lion and wheel decal on the tender and the red and white lining.

44932's front coupling rod bearings have run hot apparently. Arrived Ravenglass on time, a good run.

 

47580 to be scrambled to rescue train.

 

I hope everything will be fixed soon. My thoughts with WCR and the crews.

47 following unit to Sellafield, hopefully north at Ravenglass by 1630. Will then follow a unit off Sellafield at about 1700, could be 45 down off Ravenglass. 44932 will have to wait til Monday.

 

Service train 5 down at Ravenglass, now for the charter...

 

Charter left at 1729, 44932 and 99312 went through Ravenglass at 1740 or so, unexpected. 47580 sounding far more interesting than the steamer.

 

47580 top + tail 37676 dep Carnforth 1940 approx 60 late to Leicester as 44932 arrived light at Steamtown.

Three pix of 44932 leaving Carnforth this morning added here:

Best of luck to James and co. I'm sure this little hiccough will be easily sorted.

This Saturday's train is full. I presume we'll have 48151, as 5690 is off to Scarborough at the end of the week. Old faithful.

 

Managed to get a couple of shots this morning as 48151 approached Grange over Sands
