Cumbrian Coast Express: RTC - 12/03/22

Any offers yet for what will be doing the steam leg of Saturdays Cumbrian Coast, in terms of what's in ticket and what fits I cannot see much beyond 46115 or 45690?

 

RTC page has it for 45690

 

Ta. Me and Leander have history going back 40 years, may have to drag my COVID infected self down to the railway bridge to give the old girl a wave!

The driver was Mick Rawling and the fireman was Clive Gault. I spoke to both whilst at Carlisle.

Prelude to fish, chips and mushy peas at the famous shop in Arnside, light let us down, had been glorious earlier.

 

Leander at Drigg, charging away from the stop at Sellafield. Might have caught her further north along the coast as well if the Duchess had left Hellifield on time, but it wasn't to be!
