    That's what I heard. Just an internal bit of confusion on the NR side apparently. And Merchant 18 may well be the loco today.

    Went out for the train this morning with it having a pair of 37s (T&T) on. 37516 is seen heading south away from York:

    Headcode discs a nice touch too, pleasing for filmers and photters no doubt.

    Judging by the times on RTT, no water stops at Appleby in both directions. Taking advantage of BIL’s extra water capacity?

    "NRs internal confusion" resolved by eliminating the need for a water stop?

    It was good that the water 'glitch' was soon sorted out. Looking at the Dalesman web site a couple of days ago I saw no reference to potential disappointments for travellers regarding motive power. ;) It was a long while ago when I saw that class of locomotive working hard.

    If the "resolution" is to use 35018 it will be a busy loco indeed.

    Making a superb sight and sound, 35018 'British India Line' works through Helwith Bridge with the northbound 'Dalesman' Steve Chipperfield driving and
    Frank Chippendale on the shovel

    Dalesman 35018 2b.jpg

    Overcast weather conditions and rain starting to fall as SR MN Class 4-6-2 No. 35018 'British India Line' going along well after a late start from Carlisle. Davey Blair
    driving and Martyn Soames with the shovel. Listening to the previous vids 10A certainly have the engine purring nicely

    Let's face it. If Merchant 18 is going to run non stop between Hellifield and Carlisle in 110 minutes each way, as it did today, there seems little point in 10A using any of their other locos. :cool:
