45212 at Carlisle on the Last Day of Summertime 26 10 24

As 2024's steam season draws to a close, 45212 brings the Settle and Carlisle Steam Special to Carlisle from Nottingham on the last day of Summer Time.
Only one more steam hauled passenger train is booked into the Border City this year - then the withdrawal symptoms set in!

Thank you Jonathan. I'm on the train heading for Ratty right now - disappointing weather.

[@BufferBoi]

@@schoolshorts looks like it’s going to be a cloudy day at the ratty- the highest temperature your getting is 12!

[@peterkinloch666]

Great video again Tim, the black 5 is one of my favourite locos. Thanks again.

[@schoolshorts]

One of mine too, Peter!

Good to hear your recovering and I see on the Ratty, on what I hope is a lovely day like it is where I am.

[@schoolshorts]

Sadly - a gorgeous day north of the border but cold, grey and threatening rain in Eskdale. However, it's almost November - what can we expect?

[@cedarcam]

@@schoolshorts Yes we have better weather than expected recently Still warmer than it should be

Great video Tim I filmed Bahamas at Burton-on-Trent on Sunday night

[@schoolshorts]

Do you know - I've never even seen Bahamas. One of these days!

[@regstokes7171]

Does the diesel at the rear of the train help the steam locomotive pull the train ? Or is it just in neutral mode in case the loco has mechanical problems !

[@schoolshorts]

The diesel is there essentially to supply the electrical needs of Mark 2 coaches - but in an emergency, of course, it also has a "lifeboat" function.
