LE Movements, ECS and Test Runs 2019

Oyr footage of 6201 on its "Loaded" Test Run

 

Lizzy was in the loop at Barton to allow four northbound trains to pass

 

I like this one, shows off those lovely long lines of 6201. (shame the rods aren't down though)

 

Never understand the obsession with rods down to be honest Stuart but I’m sure there must be a reason why that’s the shot everyone wants . From what I’ve seen a good photter takes a couple of shots rather than the machine gun camera but that’s just my opinion .

 

Ive seen a couple of shots from the same location same engine same day with rods down and in my opinion look far more uniform.

 

Yes Henry but like I say unless you are a master photter with the one shot it’s near impossible to get rods down hence the machine gun photter.

 

Steve have a look back at shots with rods up and most of these shots will give the impression that the engine is standing still.Motion looks loads better when rods down giving feeling of speed
My opinion

 

Hmm , good point but like you say speed looks different up or down depending on how you look at it I would say .

 

Rod's up, but there is no doubt she's tearing through Lancaster on the 'up fast!'

 

Very sorry this is off topic but... have one of both.

 

Steve I was pulling Sheps leg, hence the smiley!
I couldn't give a toss where the rods are, look at my shots.
Why is everyone so touchy for Christ's sake, is it Brexit?


Edit. Another reason for having the rods down.......LINK ...........................joking of course!

Well I just about to post here when I realised how stupid I’d have looked.

Skegvegas to Salisbury, diesel hauled.
