50027 to the rescue

See that 50027 saved the day at the MHR after the rostered kettle failed ...I believe it was the Black 5 that failed

 

Oh dear, bit of a shame that black 5 failed but at least a rescue locomotive was available even though it may have been a diesel locomotive

 

Shades of 1968 a D400 [D427] standing in for a LMS steam loco. It did happen just about but was rare.

 

Yes it was 45379 that failed- not sure why, it was fine last night on the RAT, even kept to time despite the wet conditions. I was surprised to see Lion turn up at half eight this morning to do the Countryman/Belle/Service train shunt!

 

I refer you to this, yet another one who revels in it & thinks it's funny>

Don't think the OP was laughing so much as being pleased the 50 gets a run out.

 

That person is entitled to his opinion as you are to yours. I'm sure if it was a 47 you'd have been straight there though...

 

It's the way it was put, like they were rejoicing in it. Answer to your question, I don't think so somehow!

 

Buseng....I would hate to see how you would react if someone was actually to bait you.

If i had put the smiley AFTER the "rostered kettle failed" then that would be seen as rejoicing that the Black 5 had failed....if you actually read what was written (would be a first) then I was celebrating that the day was saved by the 50 and that the MHR was still able to run its advertised services...which can only be a good thing.

 

Don't you know? I can't read.

 

Hear hear what we need is a "Margaret Thatcher" type person in high heels and carrying a whip to keep you naughty schoolboys in check.

The only problem I see is that one or two of you might actually enjoy it

Ah that explains it all then....

 

We have just got rid of one witch do we really need another

 

You're not volunteering are you Chris?
