Pretty windy up at Birkett yesterday! 3 photos taken yesterday, and in none of them is it possible to tell the Duchess is now green. Oh well!

Re: The Great Britain V - 2012?

Passed worle jc 8:35 saw back of it while on my way to Bristol for 5043.

 

Agree whole-heartedly :thumb:

 

I'm a little concerned about 5043 tomorrow. Load 12 up to Bristol Parkway and then Sapperton in the wet might be a bit risky? 5043 is a strong engine and would undoubtedly do it in the dry but the conditions look rough for tommorow.

 

Idyllic............

 

34067 + 70013 with 13 on, through Saltash on time at 13:39. <BJ>

 

They were going well and on time at Teignmouth.

Pat.

 

I don't like saying the word diesel but given the loads that 5043 takes, the operators of Edgecumbe have probably told RYTC what the locomotive can handle.

 

I'm not aware of a Spamcan and a Brit ever working together in BR days, although the possibility was always there ie. an ECS working. In Kent and Plymouth, both classes of loco would have worked in the same vicinity. Has anyone ever heard of such a combination? Personally I thought the locos looked really good together. <BJ>

 

Anyone know what the dates/times are for 34067 and 70000 to work back up from Penzance light engine?

 

Next Saturday they are due to work the return leg of The Royal Duchy tour as far as Bristol.

It's 70013 not 70000 by the way!
