Atomic Systems

Hi,

This thread is for you to come up with ideas for future Railtours.

They can be as simple to as complicated as you want!

Cheers,

Chester025

Oh forgot to say! He's some of my ideas:

55022 Padd - Penzance (out and back via the B&H)

55022 Kings Cross - Skegness

55022 Crewe - Stranrear, DRS 20X2 Stranrear - Glasgow Central, 55022 Glasgow Central - Crewe

40145 Liverpool Lime Street - Skegness

50X2 Crewe - Stranrear, DRS 20X2 Stranrear - Glasgow Central, 50X2 Glasgow Central - Crewe

D1015 Crewe - Stranrear, DRS 20X2 Stranrear - Glasgow Central, D1015 Glasgow Central - Crewe

D1015 Carlisle - Fort William

D1015 Linlithgow - Klye of Lochalsh

Some ideas from the Preserved Diesels Website:

40145 London Euston to Glasgow Central

40145 Manchester/Crewe to Eastbourne for the airshow

40145 Manchester - Yarmouth

40145 Paddington to Newquay

40145 Crewe - Meldon Quarry with slug 5 assiting on the Dartmoor Railway!

55022 Linlithgow - Klye of Lochalsh

50X2 Linlithgow - Klye of Lochalsh

Surely somebody most have some Ideas!

6201-London Euston to Glasgow Central and back.

Pair of choppers (tnt with an ETH fitted loco). The 20's would run round at Llandudno Jnc. after returning from BF attaching infront of the other loco,
Derby - Llandudno - Blaenau Ffestiniog - Llandudno Jnc. - Derby

A peak on the outward leg and a whistler on the return,
Liverpool Lime Street - Man Vic - Leeds - Newcastle

How about the ultimate tour featuring not 1 but 2 Deltics and the full rake of the Blue Pullman stock so no Virgin stock sneaked into the rake travelling between;

London Kings Cross to Glasgow Central to London Euston,

45132 - Ropley headshunt - yard under it's own power.

81002 Euston - Man Picc, back to Euston with 84001.

Combination of 'Halls' or 'Kings' Paddington - Penzance, with Panniers, 14XXs stabled at places such as Par and St Erth to take portions of said train to the coast ("The Cornishman" IIRC).

Likewise Kings Cross - Aberdeen, utilising A4s or Flying Scotsman on the main route, with 62005, 61264 or Black 5s taking portions to Scarborough, maybe Lincoln etc.

Combining elements of splitting/joining, extra steam traction available in the event of a breakdown, several prototypical locos, all icing on the cake which I dare say would be too expensive to implement on this scale

70000 Britannia and a rake of 'blood and custard' liveried Mk1's from London Liverpool Street to Norwich. 70013 Oliver Cromwell then takes over for the return leg as far as Brentford, with 70000 following behind with support coach. At Brentford the train is split, with each engine taking a portion onwards to Liverpool Street running on the fast and slow lines.

As an extra, 61264 could be hauling a local train into LLS at the same time

Regards,

Dan

Something big and loud (like a deltic) rushing through Ashton-under-Lyne station.

Tangmere through Woking.

Hang on... didnt that happen.

Sorry for pulling apart your post but anything from anyware to Skegness will be great

I'd like to see two Tyseley halls have a double headed bash at the Settle and Carlisle, with me support crewing Pitchford as usual..........
