The Dalesman

Just seen your shots, that one from Ais Gill is a belter.

I believe 45699 Galatea is on the Dalesman today from Hellifield 26/05/2015

 

Galatea, load 8. No diesel.

 

15 minutes early at Settle, going well albeit with a moderate load.

Probably ordered to run early in the hope of spiting some of today's gricers who may have "bad-mouthed" David Smith on this and other forums. I am joking, but suspect from views expressed on other threads that some may believe this to be true - we will probably never know and even if we did, how would things be better?

Great video,thanks for posting.

 

Estimate it was 20 minutes early at Ribblehead following a service train earlier. Was scheduled for an hour stop over at Hellifield which seemed a long time to me

 

Thanks Alastair , it was early so nearly caught me out !

LMS 5XP Class 4-6-0 No. 45699 'Galatea' works today's 'Dalesman' through Selside running twenty early could well have caught a few out

Great shot Ian, I did wonder if anyone got it in the sun near to Carlisle.

A couple of great shots. I was one of the few standing at the other side of the wall to you.

Thanks Steven. Judging by Mark and Shep's shots, there were more gaps in the cloud further south. I was pretty lucky, though driving home, it did look brighter closer still to Carlisle.

 

Cheers , much appreciated comment .

 

Galatea on the return leg approaching Ais Gill Summit:

 

Footage from me from the up train at Aisgill & down train at Appleby and Ribblehead (where I was caught out by the early running, as had hoped to get to Blea Moor)

 

My effort from yesterday, good to see Galatea runing so well.
