Tangmere

Don't Bullied engines have their own cloaking device on top of the smokebox ? (runs for cover)

 

We know he tried ......

only the original ones, dependant on which way the winds blowing, So what colour is it, I think its going to be flat black, with 98767 in sunshine lettering, with Yorkshire Railways on the tender

 

Not my picture.

 

I'm going for a mismatch of colours with 34016 on the cab side and Bodmin plates on.

Whatever one thinks of WCR one has to admire their ability to keep c.100t of metal hidden!

 

No tomfoolery with nameplates, they are slacking!

 

Looks nice like that (still running)

 

In perfect 1960s condition

 

Looks rather good in "1967 End of Southern Steam" condition. I hope that the test run goes well today.
I wonder which boiler she is now running with. Wasn't her boiler very tired after her last stint on the Main Line?

Also is that the tender that was loaned to 34092?

 

If I were a betting man I would suspect 34073's as her chassis has been knocking around in various location at 10A boiler less for ages.

 

Oh yes, please leave it like that, just for a few tours...
Looks nice and steam tight too.

 

Good shot of Con rod little end pin nut, with split cotter in position too, although I would have opened it a little more.

 

if she's retained her air brakes, next years northern belle tours might see flat top haulage, and heres hoping, an Bournemouth Belle recreation using the same pulmans especially if Tangmere and Bil come down together

 

I would happily pay a premium for that.

 

No nice heritage "Porterbrook" livery (full yellow ends, obviously) ?

I'll just get my coat ......

 

And malachite on 46115.

 

Why do i have this image, in my mind, of a bird of prey uncloaking next to Tangmere, as she's running, and the fireman says to the driver, " theres a Klingon on the starboard bow Jim.
