    Re: Scotsman Overhaul updates

    On UKsteam.info theres a provisional move on 29th July from York to FW with 45407 which would tie in with a trial terminating there? Not sure what the point of the move to York would be, is there any need to move some ECS Carnforth/York for the SSE?

    Since the first SSE is on the 19th, 5407 is moving to York on the 18th. I assume that she will be doing the SSEs until the 29th when she heads off to FW for a spell on the Jacobite.

    Probably a stupid question, but how do they turn the loco at Scarborough?

    Went on bike to Wakefield and got this shot tonight. The noise she makes going up and past Wrenthorpe is brilliant!

    Tried a new location just South of Beeston Leeds, this morning but the video clip is a bit short and has wind noise, so here is just a still clip from it.

    Most certainly was. I'd have said 'Hello' but I wasn't sure if it was actually the same person as on here ;).

    Yeah we went to a crossing just after South Milford. We kind of got on the M62 and I looked and you'd gone... I'm assuming you got stuck behind that bloody lorry on the slip road? lol. Ah right, was it busy there? It's normally full of the locals...
