    Simon makes a fair point here. 37688 was brought in a) for the gala and b) to support with Whitby work thereafter. Both of which require it to work vacuum-braked trains. So who signed off the hire of a loco that may not have worked a vac-braked train in up to four years and whose current stewards and owners have no way to guarantee that the vacuum brake system actually works?

    Aside from that, I noticed 688 was repaired mid-way through the gala, but then I saw a further post suggesting it had failed again when T&Ting a train to Pickering with 418. What was the second failure down to?

    Traction motor flashover is what my mate who was there told me earlier today.

    44806 and 926 used today, the latter shuttling between Whitby and Grosmont so that diesel train passengers ex Pickering got to see steam at Whitby at least.

    Heatwave coming up. The Moors have had very little serious rain in the last couple of weeks. Much of the forecast rain, enjoyed elsewhere, hasn't really appeared.

    It's good to see steam returning, let's hope it can continue through the summer.

    Needs Tyre Turning, so it's not something that can really be put off if it's to continue in service, shouldnt be away too long I imagine. (I seem to remember when it took 37264 to leeds it was only a couple of days before it was back again)
