    With luck the motive power will be 46115 or maybe 45699. Can't see it being the 8F given its 50 mph speed restriction.

    Yeah steam comes on at Carlisle on two, Carnforth on one. I can only see it being that MK1 set on those jobs, as it makes total sense to use it on the 4 Northern based Xmas jobs.

    [ATTACH] The North London Tank with FO 3068, posed in Horsted Keynes station. This is planned to be part of the SteamLights displays for 2026, and I believe it will be positioned in the Down Yard. Picture from Bluebell Railway Facebook.

    Posting this in the right thread this time!! 3 x York to Edinburgh Market excursions announced, utilising the Tyne Valley Line, then Steam from Carlisle to Edinburgh, via Carstairs. You have to ask what motive power will be used, from Carlisle...
