jsm8b attached a file to the thread LE movements, ECS and test runs 2024.
This morning RTT showed a Crewe to Kidderminster ecs movement at the start of what looks like busy week for LSL. So purely out of curiosity I went to see having expected just light engine moves for the gala. 37409 (built 1965 as D6970 at Vulcan...

Although Tornado is indeed somewhat more complex, I don't think the third cylinder and associated stuff makes much difference to the task of designing and installing the ERTMS stuff; and the fact that Tornado already had a lot of electrical...

A detailed account of the day using known film is available in the PSOV DVD "9th May 1964", including interviews with many of the crews and supplementary footage.

[ATTACH] With waving from onlookers all along the sea wall 7029 Clun Castle charges along the sea wall at Dawlish, seconds before a Voyager hurtles the other way.... the castle was just in time. [MEDIA]

According to Six Bells there were four Castles used on May 9 1964, 4079, 7025, 7029 and 5054, plus the Hall 6999 when 4079 failed at Westbury. Great show the last couple of days--it can still be done.

Leviathan liked MellishR's post in the thread Vintage Trains 2024.
Any chance of stabling her at Southall the night before for a run out of Paddington for as much as possible of the route to Birkenhead (with a diversion from the GWR around Brum)? Any more info on that yet? I'm keen to do it, having missed both...

7029 was safely back on shed by 1am, catering unloaded, rubbish cleared and team debriefed. It was a pleasure to be able to do virtually no management on 1Z48, simply because it was unnecessary. The enlarged team including FGW, Bristol and Laira...
