Leander's done very well for itself in recent years and put on a good number of performances. Iv been behind 45690 seven times on railtours (4 being where it double headed with another loco including most recently with 34067 Tangmere) and not once on any of those tours iv been on with her on the front has she failed. When they normaly have just come out of the works a few mechanical issues like hotboxes happen but over time it usually runs fault free except for that day where the superheater failed.

Hi Tin I did 50 years on footplate I started at edgeley shed in 1961 I finished in 2011 but I fired the Flying Scotsman in 1973 from Manchester to Derby and in the same year I fired Leander from Derby to Manchester it was Red then Regard Phil 😁👍.

What are the consequences and risks of pushing on and hauling the train with a failed superheater element? If the whole superheater fails, then in theory it could operate as a non-superheated engine back to the depot? Any engineers out there, please explain!
@schoolshorts
@schoolshorts 2 жыл бұрын
I'm not an engineer so can't give a detailed technical account but - put high pressure steam and any sort of failure together and the consequences are likely to be spectacular - and catastrophic!
@andrewjohnfox
@andrewjohnfox 2 жыл бұрын
Depends on the fault but if was a leaking superheater, the pressure released would defeat the vacuum in the smoke box which draws the fire, and there would create a high risk of blow back in the cab. The superheater is part of the main steam supply to the cylinders and if one is fitted it can't be isolated

Hi Paul. Yes, machines that are 80, 90 or more years old do tend to fail occasionally. The only turntables that I know of in Cumbria are on the narrow-gauge Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway. Steam locos at Carlisle arrive facing north, reverse down to Upperby depot for servicing then use a tightly curved single track to access the Newcastle line at London Road junction (now facing east) before reversing back into the station facing south and ready for the homeward journey. Best wishes.

A very hot day for you. Not really to my liking when it gets so warm. I am not sure how big a job it is to repair a super heater element Hopefully it can be done quickly with all the tours WC are doing. The HST was very late as well. I saw both trains on Railcam and the HST should of run before Leander. Hope all goes well on your next day out.

I'm really not a fan of when it gets too warm cause in my family if you get too warm there's a risk where you can faint if you get way too hot. It actually happened to me a couple of weeks ago when exploring Southport & on that day it was boiling.

Carlisle alone has 4 steam-hauled and 1 diesel-worked (not from the Carnforth pool, I think) specials in the seven day period starting on 10th July - I haven't looked to see how many other services they're working elsewhere. They're certainly pushing their locos hard.
