The 15 Guinea Special

The Black 5s at Ais Gill just as it started to rain again

70013 at Lunds Viaduct in much nicer weather

 

Better late than never, my atempt from Lunds (much the same as Matt's). Good to get something when there's not much sun around.

A bit late, but my offer from 11th August from a footbridge just outside of Padgate on the Liverpool-Manchester leg.

 

Very nice of you, Al, to consume a large slice in public. ;-) Pity that others haven't followed your lead....

Also, you might, in connection with comments elsewhere, wonder where the loco had been overhauled? Furthermore, you might also wonder why the other loco in the consist had a massive blow on the regulator necessitating the drains be left wide open whilst watering at Appelby? That self same loco might also have been overhauled at the same place, might it not?

You might also wonder whether the drivers had the same great confidence in their steeds thereafter....

 

A short compilation from on-board the special:

 

A bit late due to server issues, shots of 70013 at Newsholme and Helwith Bridge and 45231 & 44932 at Waitby.
