    A trio from me, nice to see steam on home ground in Shropshire again.

    Acton Bridge before being routed onto the slow line, Marley Green and the return approaching Yorton.

    I don’t think you ever know for sure what’s going to be put on the front of a train when you pull up by 10A. It’s always been the way they operate and while we can make imformed guesses, there is never a guarantee. (The only exeption I can think of is 60103)

    It's well known that Mr Smith doesn't like photographers so it's laid on to hide the locomotive away from them!!!

    Quite interesting that there were two MNs in action yesterday (See also here) but neither ventured anywhere near the class's historic stamping grounds.

    All you can really say is that 35018+class 47 seemed to do ok on an untaxing itinerary.

    What with the 47 that's load c.16 - assume the diesel was doing something even if just taking itself?

    They must be fairly happy with her (leak aside) to have let her so far from base, albeit rather flat. Doesn't anyone know if she will fit round the coast, could have a run out Saturday.... ;)
