Hi all,

My fot of 47245 storming through Balne is now up. This was before it managed to fail near Shipley. 47500 made its passenger debut with WCRC on the return.

Hi

This is the official report

47245 failed approaching Hellifield. The 37 pushed the train into the station, ran-round and dragged the demic 47 to Carnforth. 46115 took over and left Hellifield 26 late, passed Settle Jn 23 late, Blea Moor 14 late and passed Peterill Bridge 5 EARLY! She only took 20 minutes Settle Jn-Blea Moor that's 14 miles! Was worked it out and that was an average speed of 42mph with 400 tons on a 1 in 100 gradient.

Yeah,failed when driver attempted to apply power in Shipley Tunnel. 37 pushed from rear,47 using horn.

Report from my dad in front window......
