Are you suggesting that without its 'helper' 34067 would have held up Tornado? 11 coaches for a Bulleid up Shap should be well within capability...;) I am sure if any other one of us had suggested that on NP, the full wrath of 10A would have...

I had hoped to complete my report of a terrific trip today, but someone has robbed me of an hour. The rest of the family has gone out leaving me with some jobs to do and as it has been raining heavily Maisie can't/won't go out so wants plenty of...

Wow, what a day for those who love main line steam at its best. We passed 8,000 miles behind the A1 during the day and we passed 150,000 miles of haulage since my records started in 1978. And what a day to pass these landmarks. Enormous thanks to...

Couple of shots of Tangmere at Carlisle yesterday. She was definitely looking a little 'work worn' with even some rust around the cab roof - bit of change from the exhibition standard of many mainline locos! [ATTACH] [ATTACH]

Having just ploughed through a number of excellent YouTube videos, would seem the 47 was switched off from Blackburn back to Brum, so thats equivalent load 14!! Another notable performance to add to the day!!

Just reflecting on a fantastic day yesterday after a past midnight arrival back in Mid-Wales! My GPS made it 380 steam miles yesterday (from Wolverhampton), Tornado didn't miss a beat. Even when the diesel was on the back it hardly did a thing,...
