Hi All,
A bit of gen that may be of use to you. 31166 is booked to leave Wensleydale Railway for TJ Thompsons with a 'Fag Packet' brake force runner and 2 CAF locos.
No times are available yet but it is thought that 2 locos will arrive in the reversing line (could be any 47s/57s/66)before proceeding onto the WR section. One loco will be left at Springwell Lane Loops whilst the other will proceed to the Eastern approach of Leeming station where the 31 (through piped) and Brake Force Runner are waiting. The consist will then run back to Springwell Lane and set back onto the other loco and couple up the through brake pipe. The train will run onto the reversing line and set back into Northallerton Platform 2 where another reversal will be made allowing the train to continue on the journey to Stockton.
Currently I have no times but I'm trying to get them. On that basis some of you may want to spend a day lineside or at Thommo's waiting for the consist which will now run using 47828 and 57006
