    Did she have issues with overheating trailing truck bearings, being inside, and in close proximity to the firebox? Raven's Pacifics certainly did,...

    Yes, it's a nice walk, either way you do it. The lineside was pretty clear the last time I was along there, last year. You're right about the...

    The Cumbrian Mountain Express 22/04/17.
