Hello Alan Steam and Diesel hand in hand here .. a double header you were not expecting at the start of the day

Best wishes ... Steve

No we did not expect this to happen at all would have been better with just the A.1 ha well you win some and you lose some. Best wishes Alan.

Tornado seems to be working hard with loads of smoke but why does it need a tow? Makes for an unusual picture Alan ~ All the best ~ Nick

Hi Nick its not getting a tow the T.W.P.S (Train Warning Protection System) had failed on TORNADO so they had to put a Diesel on for Safety.Best wishes Alan

Hi Alan
A great capture here! A little unexpected, but what can you do!
Interesting observation from Nick, but if the crew are on the ball, why should it not contribute to pulling the train!

Gets a big star from me!

Best Wishes
Peter
