Sorry, not had time to upload the video, will do so later on in the week if I get chance. The 8F was certainly making a lovely noise this evening.

Nice one Stephen. Interesting to see the wind direction was totally different at KS to Carlisle.

 

I agree excellent as usual from you Stephen.
But who let that rabbit cross the track without a high viz?

 

Leander on today's Fellsman. No diesel. AN

 

Indeed, back in the day (before the end of steam) we wouldn't have given an 8f a second glance, but now, as you say, it's grand to see one, in good nick and doing it's stuff.
I remember 'Uncle Albert' (Seymour), he could always get the best out of it.

 

8f again tomorrow?

 

Yep.

 

Approaching Lancliffe, LMS 8F Class 2-8-0 No. 48151 makes a fine sight and sound as it works 'The Dalesman' to the north

 

From the West Coast Railways website:

"the Dalesman trips are all nearly full. We only have a few Standard seats available on the 18th July, 7th, 8th and 15th August. "

Great to see the success of this and the Fellsman, there's clearly a huge amount of interest in travelling with steam over the S+C

 

Where is Lancliffe

It's quite near Winskill. Not many people know that.

 

Another rabbit without a 'HiVis'!
