Class 37 with afternoon stock.

K1 due to move North on 16th May.

 

This move shows a reporting code of 500V on Railcam, currently at Carstairs. Clicking on 500V on diagram brings up times for a Paddington to Maidenhead train

 

Agreed ,its a brilliant website. I don't know who does it , but he does a splendid job. Btw, apart from the Jacobite and Great Britain, I haven't been able to see any timings on my laptop since April 27th. Has anyone else noticed this?

 

I believe your man is @gwr4090 of this Parish.

 

Timings have been added for yesterday and today's Highlands and Islands tours for Steam Dreams.

With the unusual lack of updates recently I'm hoping that David has been on holiday rather than being unwell. <BJ>

 

Flying Scotsman move from Inverness to Bo'ness today was cancelled. Anyone know why?

 

....And many of us on this forum and beyond would be lost without his splendid contributions.
Many thanks, @gwr4090

 

Seconded.

 

LSL are using a class 47 in the west country for a couple of days, presumably for training runs. <BJ>

Reported elsewhere that the old girl has apparently suffered leaking tubes. Cue rejoicing from the haters on the site in question, of course

 

Mr Riley's men will sort it......................."it'll be ready on Thursday"

 

Indeed - long before Nat Pres and RTT I used to go to what was then March Web to look for steam in the locality

 

K1 on route to Hellifield on a test run. Just seen a video of it leaving Carnforth. Engine and POB.

 

Has it had air brakes fitted and if not will it ever get them fitted?

 

This maybe of interest. Does anybody have any details of which set of stock it is please? <BJ>

''67.002 + 7 MK1 coaches + 66.002 on 5Z52 09:58 Eastleigh Arlington (Zg) to Tyseley Steam Trust''.
Report thanks to Basingstoker.
