Was that up hill in the wet? as Admiralt said I think she needs a rest no wounder they put her in for a big overhaul at the NRM.

No it wasn't wet but very frosty, also I think it is a slight climb on a curve + the weight of the pullmans and I find 4-6-2 engines tend to slip more.

I think the main problem was frosty rails, curved gradient & heavy pullman stock.
Having a lot of trouble keeping traction there.....I'm sure when the re-fit is complete, she'll be as good as new!
