    A fortunate break in the downpour sees LMS 5XP Class No. 45690 'Leander' working through Selside with the Carlisle bound 'Waverley', Chris Cubitt
    driving and Rob Russell on the shovel

    An immaculately turned out 'Leander' working the return leg of the 'Waverley' approaching Greengates with Dave Blair driving and Chris Holmes on the
