Thanks Ian, no surprises with the weather as we are used to this, just holding its own I would say, cheers nige👍

Thanks David, yes I do like those two locations, cheers ☹️

Thanks David, steady away and running into a head wind, cheers 👍

Thanks Simon much appreciate your comment, cheers 👍

Thanks Austin, and a grimy loco would have been just the job, cheers 👍

Thanks Andrew, the 5 doing a grand job, cheers 👍

How long can the 5 keep up with it's current load of almost daily tours???? Tangmere eventually succumbed to problems before her!!!

She'll keep going as long as she gets properly maintained but all machines need repairs eventually. It's amazing what a 5 can put up with and keep working. You only have to look at wartime services and the run down condition of them in the late 60s! Like B1 and Halls they were survivors. Long may steam continue to thrill us all with their sound and performance!

Thanks Rod, glad this brings back happy memories for you and it’s my pleasure, the can on the rear is needed for the air con stock which is the only ones West Coast are able to use at present, cheers 👍

Thanks Philip much appreciated as always, hopefully Thursday will be the next one, cheers 👍

Thanks Philip much appreciated as always, next one will hopefully be the Dalesman on Thursday if it’s running, cheers 👍

Thanks Alistair, probably got the better conditions on the outward leg then as the weather deteriorated later, cheers 👍

Thanks Steve, just light rain so not an issue, she never got out of the car 😂 cheers 👍

Thanks Mark, it’s unfortunate that West Coast are still using the Mk3 air con stock and as you say suppressing that great sound the Black 5 was making on the climb so how long this situation is going to go on for is anyone’s guess, cheers nige 👍

Thanks Graham glad you enjoyed watching, cheers 👍

Thanks Alan, very quiet at Aisgill as the road closure doesn’t help, yes an appropriate mixture but the loco would more than likely be very grimy back then, cheers 👍

@@nige7577 They were so grimy we couldn't tell if they were black!

@@alangilbertson8239 Very true 😂

No problem, glad you enjoyed your trip and the view from the lineside and thanks for watching, cheers 👍

Thanks George, yes it was although it was running into a head wind climbing to the summit, the morning run was better but still had some assistance and hopefully 44871 will be on thursdays Dalesman, cheers nige👍

Thanks for watching Josh, cheers nige👍

Thanks Austin, yes better clag than I was expecting and the only thing missing was a whistle at the crossing, cheers 👍

Thanks Andrew, running nicely there, did you manage to catch her, cheers👍

@@nige7577 No, because I got her on Thursday on Scarborough Spa

Thanks Davey, the CME would normally run without a diesel on the rear at this time of year but it’s on to provide the air con for these coaches with don’t have opening windows, cheers 👍

👍

Thanks Graham, risk of fire I would think but a much better return, cheers 👍

Thanks John, yes and the risk of setting all that dead grass alight so understandable, regards nige 👍

Thanks John much appreciated, regards nige 👍

Thanks Alistair, yes and we even saw a bit of sunshine which didn’t stop long😂 well that worked out alright for you then, cheers 👍

Thanks George and no problem, getting assistance on Shap and when you see all that golden dry grass by the lineside it’s no wonder but a good return run, cheers nige👍

Thanks Stephen, it’s always a difficult one this depending on the conditions at the time to whether you have the light, cheers 👍

Thanks Philip much appreciated as always, still another upload tonight for the returning Waverley, cheers 👍

Thanks Austin, yes made up for a quieter run up Shap, cheers 👍

Thanks Lynden that’s much appreciated, yes the wind was the biggest problem on Shap blowing the sound away, definitely an early bird and even earlier than me😂 yes the path runs right through from the A6 and is well marked out then over the green footbridge and on to the Orton to Shap road B6261 and it’s a great view from the bridge, cheers 👍

Thanks Andrew, the wind was very strong so affecting picking up the sound but much better on the return, cheers 👍

Yes it is Scott and if nearly spout the shot 😂

Thanks for your very kind comment Andrew as it’s much appreciated, cheers 👍

Thanks Simon, cheers 👍

Thanks Steve, being assisted as the lineside is covered with dry golden grass so playing it safe and less of a problem on the quieter of the two lines, cheers 👍

Thanks David, was expecting some assistance with it being so hot but a better display at Birkett and plenty of options there, cheers 👍

Thanks Alistair, yes the wind was a lot stronger than expected, nice change for you going to the summit and two good locations, cheers 👍

Thanks Steve, could have been a lot worse and yes that grass has certainly shot up, a bit cooler for the return so some decent clag, cheers 👍

Thanks Alan, yes there was assistance which was expected, hot conditions and tinder dry lineside grass so being cautious I would say, cheers 👍

Thanks Liam for your lovely comment, yes you’ll have another go, cheers 👍

Thanks Bob, something different as there’s not normally much opportunity this time of year for shots at dusk, cheers 👍

Thanks for your lovely comment Allan, yes keeping very busy but a nice change from Tangmere, cheers nige👍

Thanks Alistair, no wasn’t to heavy but that’s the third steam charter on the trot that its rained so hopefully sun tomorrow 😂 cheers 👍

Thanks David, It had been a clear sky as the sun went down so that gave us some extra time before it was dark, and if she was late it would have been a blackout, cheers 👍

Thanks John, yes you’re right on that point and it was dark by the time we had packed up, regards nige 👍

Thanks Austin, yes sounding lovely although the whistle was a bit limp😂 cheers 👍

Thanks John, another wet one with the 5 running well, regards nige 👍

Thanks George, yes she was sounding very nice indeed and considering the 75 minute delay in departing Scarborough the crew did well to get back on time, I wondered on the light formation, next ping tomorrow 😂 cheers nige👍

@nige7577 ... oohhh can't wait 👍

@@Geo46115 😂👍

@@GWJUK Hope you have an enjoyable day out, have you been told which loco will be on the front 🤔

@@nige7577 we have an 86 up to Carnforth the this Black 5 around Cumbria although I imagine it could be subject to change.

@@GWJUK That’s great as we had heard 44871 was one this as well as Sunday’s Waverley so you have confirmed this now, cheers 👍

@@nige7577 I can 100% confirm in the morning 😀

Sat in Carnforth North Junction awaiting the steam

Thanks Simon, cheers 👍
