    I would think it's unlikely that she will be in steam hence the 40mph timing.

    According to Faceache the rods are off and I assume the 37s are T&T.

    At 40mph that's going to be a long old day out, BTW on an operational level, if she is dead does the footplate need to be manned as that's going to be one cold assignment!

    Are you polishing your lens John? Nice side shot from the canal towpath at Stubbins Lane. If it runs early it may still be light.

    Diesels towing a cold steam engine....nah....not done that since the Duchess left Butlins Ayr and BTP colleagues at Carlisle gave me a lift to Kingmoor yard! Long, long time ago! Appreciate the suggestion though!

    Couple of technical questions...

    I notice that they have taken the coupling and connecting rods off but left the eccentric crank and arm in place, is there a reason for this otherwise is it not just leaving something that could run hot? I noticed they did same when moving 46233 the other week?

    Is there reason why WCRC took the water carrier down (I assume to provide brake force) rather than a standard carriage, is it something to do with weight?

    Left over from her last main-line outing? Maybe Mr Smith will give them a good price for it!

    He won't mind, I'll wager he's been asked questions a lot more personal than that in his career!

    I don't think it did for a few years, I think there was an appeal to buy one a few years ago.

    That one is Dutchess of Sutherland's support coach - I have the Hornby special edition loco/support coach pack.
