Shap Summit.

What Are Your Views!
I think that seeing Duchess Of Sutherland Storming Up Is A Really Great Sight.

Superb bit of line, although steam isn't my thing, cruising to the summit with an 87 and Mk3 set is more like it Did it post-Hatfield with a 40TSR Tebay to Shap and then a 20TSR from Shap to Penrith, got a very good look at the scenery!!!
Prefer Beattock personally though.

A run which i'd love to be doing on a semi-regular basis again (couldn't afford to do it too often!) if only the trains were any good.... :cry:

I never know when I'm going up or down Shap...! Usually go up or down it on one of the sleepers or a 390. Due to go up there on Friday, hopefully I'll actually tell when we hit it this time!

I Know When You Hit The Climb.The Climb Starts at TEBAY(THR LITTLE THREE ARCH BRDGE) to where you go under the small footbridge in the rocky cutting.

I know how you could do a tour, take the 390 somthing to glasgow and pull the emergency stop at shap... hehe...

My opinion about Shap?
Beautiful place, very close to where I live, great views.

Not so nice in winter, particularly the 50/60 (before the building of the M6)when lorry drivers could be stuck for days in the snow!

 

[Tommynody]

Well sorry but I just dont think diesels belong up there.
