HARRY POTTER - OLTON HALL LEAVING SHILDON

Full times now on UKsteam info http://www.uksteam.info/tours/t11/t0719p.htm

 

Anyone know how the movement is progressing?

 

Was running on time through to eaglescliffe. Hope this helps.

 

Out of interest why did this run without a support coach and DL as per when Tornado took 4468 in the opposite direction?

 

Different TOC, and brake system. DBS moved 4468 as a swinger between an airbraked loco and coach + 47 for brake force. WCRC moved 5972 and 4468 using both locos vac systems so Mallard's tender was filled with water to aid brake force.

 

Look at this load of guff from the Daily Wail...

I have read some rubbish in the national press about locos/railways in the past but that has to one of the worst write ups. It looks as though one of the editorial floor messengers was given something to do during a slow day while the rest of the staff were watching Murdoch and co.

Neil.

 

That story is almost impossible to edit. You'd have to change almost everyword!!

 

So negitive. Have the dm been hacking into peoples phones too to find out things too.

 

Come on now! You don't expect Britain's press to publish FACTS in their newspapers??

When the BBC still has to report that phone hacking by the NoW is "alleged", it is incredible that lies and incorrect information can be published in this way......................actually now I come to think about it, it isn't really is it? :doh:

 

Anyone know that the plans are for 5972 over the summer?

 

Scarborough Spa Expresses perhaps?

 

Stand by duties? Don't think there is another loco in YOrk with a mainline certificate?

 

45407.

 

Only if the clearence issues that stopped her being used last year have been resolved.

the move of Mallard by Olton Hall aka Hogwarts Castle yesterday.


Enjoy the gallery!

 

Thanks Black Hat, lovely photos. That is one of the most graceful loco designs ever, and looks fabulous in that livery.

The pointy blue thing on the back is not too bad, either.

Quick question for anyone with an answer. If you pause the above video on 0:28, you can see that there is water coming out of the live steam injector overflow?
