    Sounded superb on the climb to Armathwaite. Just a shame the rain had to come at the most inopportune moment...

    Video later, provided my hotel's Internet can upload a 1080 HD video!

    Great to watch she performed well, I was sat on that side and spotted a lone figure on the platform, many thanks for posting.

    It'll be interesting to make comparison with the Waverley later in the summer which is now essentially the same operation but by RTC. Additional coaches and a diesel on the back?

    Cracking video Steve, sound captured superbly despite the wind - 45231 well on top of the job there. Even in the rain, there is something about the S & C that can transport you back half a century. Many thanks for turning out Steve to record the event, well worth watching.

    Cheers,

    Alan

    Not the best of conditions today as LMS 5MT Class 4-6-0 No. 45231 'The Sherwood Forester' powers towards Selside with the northbound 'Dalesman'

    45231 2b.jpg

    Having been suitably refreshed, LMS 5MT Class 4-6-0 No. 45231 'The Sherwood Forester' accelerates away from Appleby with the return leg of the 'Dalesman'

    Leander was still sat in platform 3 at Carlisle facing northwards at 4:55. Don't think it's moved since it arrived.
