Great catch of a nice surprise Steve 😀. Let's hope West coast send BIL and others that are not being used out to heritage lines this year, until they sort their mess out 🙄

[@bodorganboys]

Nice set of shots. Thought about going over to Hellifield but my fingers were freezing by the time I made it to Wennington, even with the heated grips on full power.

[@stephenbrass1808]

Cold it was Idris, but ideal for some great exhaust, thanks .

[@JohnGillespie-s5n]

Lovely ex SR mn

[@stephenbrass1808]

Indeed John, thanks for your comment .

[@RaggyAl1971]

What is it with WCR,the valve timing is way out on Tangmere and BIL leaks like a sieve from both cylinders.

[@DavidFennessy-yj7du]

Don’t they always sounded like that though, the ..‘interrupted’..exhaust, shuffling and interrupted, and the cylinder cocks were probably open out of fear of any condensate being in the cylinders
