City of Truro

Post by ilovequo »

Hi all

This is my 1st time in this particular part of the forum so I hope you like the photos I am putting here.

This weekend coming is a steam gala at Keighley & Worth Valley Railway (I will be there) and 2 visiting engines will be there - Super D and City of Truro. (http://www.kwvr.co.uk)

CoT has been at K&WVR for a few weeks and sunday just gone i went to take some pics as CoT was doing some runs.

Hope you like them

Dave

Scope for an activity here. We've (well, some of us) got the KWVR and City of Truro and far too may Mk1s. Not sure it'll shine like that though...

So how's it coping with those Yorkshire gradients then?- I hear it struggled in Norfolk.

Nice pics by the way!

Apparently it did fine in Hampshire (5 pretty full coaches) at the start of september.

It did superbly in Hampshire - the trip I was on, on the Saturday anyways; load 5, and the Standard 5 coupled in front made for a superb run. Big up the MHR drivers who let CoT do all the work and left the standard idling - a full 15 minutes of absolute Hellfire all the way up the 1:60 from Alton to Medstead :o
