    The KWVR facebook page shows a nice pic of 45212 and the 37 ready to leave but obviously something changed. I have posted a query but no further comment received. Just guessing but it would seem to make sense for the 37 to drag both to Carnforth (eventually), drop off 46100 for another diesel to be attached, then trundle up to FW with 45212? Longer way round for 45212 but saves another diesel Carnforth to KWVR? Will keep an eye out on RTT.
    Edit-ignore previous wishful thinking-original move for 45212 now rescheduled for tomorrow with same timings.

    Aren't we discussing LE and test runs in this thread? Plus the Fellsman uses WC pool locos does it not?
