Nice Sulzer type 2 pairing there.

Fantastic shot of the Fairbun on the TPO. Now those TPOs just need to be repainted into a more period livery.

I wouldn't dare comment!

I was told by a member of the RVP (and I think it said somewhere in the full timetable) that that is the plan.

Maybe Andrei is clairvoyant!

Excellent collection as always. The weekend was rather diesel heavy, would have been nice to see 63601 or the N2 taking the place of one of them- although both would have looked odd on the TPO! Your videos always remind me how much I need to sort out a lineside pass...

[steamontheweb]

Thanks. It would have been nice to see 63601. Diesels are very useful in allowing gaps to move locations!

stunning footage. That bit where the Fairburn pounds through and picks up the mail bag was stunning. I must visit the GCR at some point.

[steamontheweb]

Thanks. Sooner rather than later I hope!

Fantastic filming as usual, that's the fastest that Fairburn has run for about 40 years!

[steamontheweb]

Thanks. Given the speed limits on the Lakeside & Haverthwaite, you are surely correct!
