Spot on Steve, good to see and hear the Growlers out and about in less than ideal conditions sounding very nice indeed and certainly very busy at Ribblehead, cheers 👍

A full blue & grey mk 2 air con set looks very nice (plus that rogue Anglia livery coach which is still hanging on 😅)

[@stephenbrass1808]

thanks michael .

Great footage, classic traction along some of the most scenic and charming old-fashioned parts of the network. The 92 was really going like the clappers in that last clip 👌

[@stephenbrass1808]

thanks very much, it was great to be able to catch the event today, not the best weather, typical for Ribblehead . 😊

[@batman51]

Nice day for it!

[@stephenbrass1808]

thanks, well it is Ribblehead weather .👍

[@LeslieGilpinRailways]

Great record of the train at Ribblehead in the 'Dales Sunshine' from you both. And to see the train head south through Carnforth.

[@stephenbrass1808]

thanks Les, great to see, hope not the last on the mainline, cheers Steve .

[@philclarke3203]

Great clips there Steve. These 37s would would look great anywhere . Didn't see them, but got the 92/ 60 change over at Warrington BQ.😀👍

[@stephenbrass1808]

Missed catching the 37s at Speed Phil, but caught the reversing of the train set into the viaduct, quite a lenthy job as it did both sidings and had to wait for a late running dmu to pass, and a bit of drizzle didn't dampen the amount of folk there, even both got on you tube, no, not saying where but you can work it out, cheers Steve .

Cracking shots all round Stephen. Good to see the 37's in the sidings. Do u know why it went in the sidings.🤔👍

[@AndreiTupolev]

The BLS make it their mission to cover every single bit of track in the country

[@tattoo1084]

@@AndreiTupolev really? Sounds a strange thing to do with it being just a siding, but why not.

[@steamchasers2809]

Very nice. I hope Cath had an umbrella

[@stephenbrass1808]

Now colin, yes but i didn't, looks wetter from the east side shot, it was a busy spot, may put up the shunting in the quarry .
