A few minutes early going through Armathwaite. Nice to see a Fellsman run this year in the sun for a change.

I arrived in bright sunshine at Langho and Helwith Bridge only to be rewarded with cloud at both locations when the train arrived...the curse of 2012 goes on LOL.

Well it's 03.30 am insomnia.....again, but I must say personally that is the best footage I have seen all year and will be hard to better. I have a fondness for Gresley designs and TGM is up there at the top in my opinion. The crew seemed to be enjoying themselves too, from the whistle antics, which with its shrill note reminded me of the film The Lavender Hill Mob.............Im sure the passengers had a great day out too..many thanks for sharing your efforts ......superb....

 

An excellent crop of videos and stills, lads! Well done and thanks for publishing them. The Fellsman is timed for the 8F, and it looks like 61994 coped well with the schedule. Her acceleration from a standing start at Whalley was especially impressive. I think she qualifies as a "Really Useful Engine"!

 

Thanks to those who enjoyed my contribution to yesterdays fine selection of photos and videos, much appreciated.

 

My efforts from yesterday seen at sheriff bow northbound and Blea Moor southbound: steam on the main line network -  
Also includes the afternoon visit to Embsay and Bolton Abbey Railway. Some excellent pictures already posted, thanks for sharing.
