Classic, Historic and Modern Traction at Carlisle:
46100 Royal Scot,
86101 Sir William Stanier FRS,
47614,
Cement
25 & 26 March 23

Filmed on a very wet and windy Saturday 25th March and Cold, bright and windy Sunday 26th.

Highlight of the day would be 46100 Royal Scot steaming into Carlisle with the London to Settle & Carlisle Railway excursion. Its train returned to London behind 86101 Sir William Stanier FRS. 47614 brought up the rear, providing 'Hotel Services' to the train.

As the train didn't arrive from London, via the Settle & Carlisle line until after 3pm, the opportunity was taken to record the occasional freight trains, including the Cement train from Clitheroe to Mossend via the S&C and the late running Oil Tanks from Dalston to Grangemouth.

As it was 5:40pm before the train left for the south, there wasn't enough time for Royal Scot to return to Crewe that night without being held by overnight possessions along the way. Instead it was stabled at High Wapping Sidings, under the Power Signal Box.

At its scheduled time on the Sunday morning, Royal scot was reversed out of High Wapping sidings into A road - allowing for the movement of 57307 Lady Penelope to the head of 390129 Brett / City of Stoke on Trent. It then steamed off in fine style, with lots of steam, for the south.
