whats with the FS headboard ? am i missing something ? it spoils her beautiful lines IMO

john

 

Suspect it might have that headboard at the NYMR?

 

Battersby - pretty much in the dark

i still dont get it

somebody more knowledgeable than us may come along soon and explain the mystery

 

I quite like the headboard. I would imagine it's a replica, not an original worn pre and (for a while) post war by the Flying Scotsman train engines. Just guessing but it also may be John Cameron's sense of humour? After all when he is on board and UoSA is speeding along, he is "The Flying Scotsman"!

 

Looks like the return working will be Tuesday.

60009 back to ELR from NYMR

 

For once a fairly direct route, rather than the extremely roundabout one on the way out. Presumably there's a gauging problem somewhere in one direction that doesn't apply in the other direction.

 

60009 arrives at Castleton.

 

From what you saw, which way will it face on the ELR Alan? Thanks Harold.

 

It propelled the support coach round towards Hopwood ground frame Harold. Now, I don't know if it ran back to South Junction, propelled back over the crossover, into Castleton station and then back to Hopwood as I didn't hang around long enough, so I'm not 100% certain.

 

It did indeed turn on arrival at Castleton and ran chimney first onto the ELR after this move.

Sun dodging in Shropshire today.
Britannia having a run around the circuit; at Gobowen and Wellington ( anywhere off proper ground probably needed wellingtons ).

 

I'm guessing this is Britannia's move to the Bluebell on Monday 7th October:

Nice shots. When I go to Wellington they put the specials through on the slow lines...
