60047 Replaces FAILED 60087 on The North West Freighter! Plus STEAM action also at Crewe 14/07/24

A shame that 60087 failed and couldn't make the UK Railtours 'The North West Freighter' - The GBRf liveried Tug would have looked terrific top and tail with 57306 with matching blue rolling stock.
60047 'Scafell Pike' was drafted in as the substitute - See the loco arrive into Crewe from Tuebrook sidings.
57306 is then seen bringing the coaching stock into the station, before 60047 makes it's way onto the rear of the consist from the down refuge sidings.
Earlier in the day - See Black 5 '44871' arrive into Crewe after an overnight break at the Heritage centre. The Black 5 joins the rear of the coaching stock before leaving for Liverpool Lime Street where it will commence the days 'The North Wales Coast Express' tour.
Hope you enjoy the video! Thanks for watching.
