60007 Sir Nigel Gresley joins the Mail and a 90 at COLD Carlisle. LOTS of engine moves! 03 July 24

Sir Nigel Gresley joins the Mail and a 90 at Carlisle. LOTS of engine moves! 03 July 24
A cold day at Carlisle - and its July already! Still, it should make for some good steam effects from 60007 Sir Nigel Gresley with the Fellsman charter.
Before 60007 arrived we see a number of light engine movements, including Freightliner 90 on a route learning turn from Crewe. The Tesco liner didn't let us down with its 40-odd containers heading north to Mossend.
Sir Nigel Gresley arrived into Carlisle pretty much on time. The whole train was due to head out to Upperby soon after arrival. However the Logs arrived and.... well watch for yourself.
At this point I had an Opticians appointment in the city but returned in time for the Fellsman stock returning to the station.
Nothing uneventful about the departure back over the Settle & Carlisle line apart from a little slipping.
Finally the Engineer's train from Tyne Yard passed with four wagons of sleepers!

Thanks for watching Andy!

I've never been too sure about the blue livery for steam locos but I have to admit it's growing on me and Sir Nigel does look good in it.

[@LeslieGilpinRailways]

Well the A4s were originally in Blue so the BR Blue sort of fits. Thanks for watching

[@johncherrington6080]

@@LeslieGilpinRailways Yes and I think some of the GW Kings were also. I think over the years I became too fond of Brunswick green and so came to see that as the best colour for express steam locos although the Coronations were well suited to maroon. I'm not sure if the current shade of blue on Sir Nigel is the same as the originals but it does look good..

[@LeslieGilpinRailways]

@@johncherrington6080 Lets be happy that they change the liveries around every few years.

The blue and black attack with blood and custard in the middle. Nice look at Sir Nigel Leslie. All the best.

[@LeslieGilpinRailways]

Hehe nice one Tim. Thanks

At lest it was dry for you It was raining almost all morning where I am as well as cold and very windy. Hope the 57 driver takes note of what you said LOL, could of made a very slow departure. Apart from that some interesting workings. The mail train a good one to get.

[@LeslieGilpinRailways]

I spoke to that driver today after he brought the West Highland Pullman in - he wasn't aware that the Log train was almost alongside him - if he'd realised he would have waited!

[@cedarcam]

@@LeslieGilpinRailways That was good of him. A lot would set off for devilment. He would be concentrating on his own signal no doubt so I can understand him not being aware of the log train about to pass.

Fantastic video Leslie and I really like the thumbnail with Sir Nigel and the Mail train. Thanks for sharing 👍

Obviously, Nigel steals the show, but a great assortment... especially the Royal Mail and the interesting shot of the wood hauler and Nigel heading out at the same time!

[@LeslieGilpinRailways]

Thanks Anthony. I have had words with the driver of the Class 57 for setting off as the Logs passed. Thanks

@@LeslieGilpinRailways Typical, Lesley, we go over there quite regular from Ryton, often stopping in Whitesyke Garden centre on the way for a cuppa. I remember going over to Quintinshill bridge because of one of your vid,s.

Getting crowded with the cameras Leslie

That day wasn't too bad!

[@johngarratt-w2l]

WERE THE FRONT BOGEY WHEELS TURNING AS SIR IGEL COMES INTO THE STATION??????

[@LeslieGilpinRailways]

I hope so! Thanks for wtching

[@johngarratt-w2l]

@@LeslieGilpinRailways Look carefully as the train enters the station, the bogey wheels appear to be locked up and are not turning!!!

[@LeslieGilpinRailways]

I;ve checked the video and that's what APPEARS to be happening. I believe it is an optical illusion, the same as that where spoked wheels appear to be going backwards when the wheel is going forward. The combination of shutter speed and frame rate are nigh on the same that of the spokes of the bogie wheels.If you look at other clips where SNG is running at a different speed you can see the spokes moving!

[@melissasmith5109]

Is freightliner getting rid of the skoda?

[@LeslieGilpinRailways]

No idea but they are still using them

[@jimmyhillschin9987]

@@LeslieGilpinRailways Freightliner recently bought a few of the old DB Cargo ones for a slightly bigger fleet. Still going strong, doing those overnight runs to Coatbridge + the Felixstowe/Ipswich to Manchester and Liverpool. Very nice locos I think - and much faster than the 66s, so valuable.
