    Fair enough, but is it really that unreasonable to mention it here given that the movement you pointed out wouldn't have happened without the derailment, and others, like myself, may well not have trawled through 20+ pages of GBVII thread to have seen it there? I'll stick to lurking in future...

    I was just pointing out that it was already mentioned in the thread where it was relevant.

    Self evidently you *can*: the question is whether you should...

    5Z45 is shown Carnforth to FW 9/5/14 early morning. Is this likely to be Jacobite stock move with 45231 solo?

    45231 stopped in the loop at Shap summit after a slow and sick sounding climb, reported to be a valve timing problem. Driver returning to Carnforth to get a diesel to take the loco and stock back.

    Maybe the stock went north and the 5 went south ?
    Rileys 5s are in the area already

    Seen the video and the lopsided sound would be in line with the valve timing being more than a tad adrift.

    RTT appears to suggest it has taken 51 minutes to climb Beattock!?
