On a grey rainy Boxing Day late afternoon Fowler 3F 0-6-0T 47406 storms away from Rothley with the 15.30 from Loughborough. In fact this really was the lull before the Covid storm which is still raging of course! The Jinty had a 6 month extension to its boiler ticket but sadly it passed the last part out of steam due to the pandemic closure. HFF to everyone and hope you have a sunnier weekend than this one in 2019!

Out in the yard was the only engine in steam at the Crewe Diesel Depot "All Change" charity open day: British Railways Standard 7 4-6-2 70000 Britannia. She didn't move but the chime whistle was sounded on a regular basis! It rained continuously during our visit.

Climbing up the mountain out of Schierke on the Brocken line of the Harzer Schmalspurbahnen the train winds through thick pine forest with only occasional clearings where there is enough light for a decent on-train shot of the engine: 2-10-2T 99 7243-1.

Carnforth Lancashire 70013 15th June 1968

01 Mar 2006 291
Carnforth shed, Lancashire. British Railways Britannia Class 4-6-2 70013 Oliver Cromwell & an unidentified Stanier Black 5 in light steam at the north end of the shed blacken the late afternoon atmosphere as they await their next duties. I visited the shed in the evening en route back to Manchester Victoria on a Northern Railfans trip. The tall concrete building is the ash lift, an efficient way to clear away the piles of ash & char from engine disposals which could quickly accumulate in a large shed like Carnforth. Small tubs were filled by hand and then hoist up the tower & tipped into waiting 16 ton wagons for onward disposal. The much larger concrete coaling tower is just out of shot. 70013 has now (May 2008) been restored at the Great Central Railway at Loughborough after spending most of the time since August 1968 at Bressingham in Norfolk. The plan is to run-in the loco on the Great Central ready for main line train duty in 2008 to commemorate 40 years since the end of steam on BR.

An all apple green locomotive combination on Kirkby curve as LNER A3 4-6-2 4472 Flying Scotsman & B1 4-6-0 1306 double-head a Steam Special train from Carnforth to Ravenglass and Sellafield. I had journeyed up to Carnforth on the special train on the West Coast Main Line from London Euston that morning. The train was taken over by LNWR Hardwicke & Flying Scotsman and Hardwicke stayed on until Ulverston where 1306 took over.
