I think that 44871 has been down for this job for some while. As I understand it, Bulleid tenders do not have the coal capacity to safely cover the distance involved. Peter

Tornado looking very smart, hammering through Acklington 23 minutes late, after a brief unscheduled stop at Chevington Loop to allow an express to pass. That Queen of Scots headboard is vey much part of my schoolboy memories. [ATTACH]
