    I was told the delay to the 11:25 was due to the steam brake having jammed on.
    I think the backwards and forwards was due to slipping, but I'm not certain.

    The general impression I got from the crews who worked the engine: makes A LOT of noise, but not much low speed grunt. If it was wound back to make it quieter it just went slower. Once going, it wanted to race away.
    Perhaps not the ideal engine for the line, 80002 gets out of Keighley considerably better, but an interesting visitor. I have never heard such a noise in Haworth yard, echoing back from the shed as it opened up after bridge 27.

    On the subject of 73129 working Saturday, can anyone confirm what's on the morning diesel diagram please? Presumably the bogcart, but it seemed worth asking! :lol:
