Shirley [12088] making her way to the other end of the train. The track is in very good order, to my eyes.

The train has been here a couple of minutes, and the tail lamp is about to change ends ... There is a 10 minute allowance for the engine to "run around" on the loop, quite long enough to get some good pictures and to stretch legs on the platform. I think a couple of intrepid people raced up onto Edenhill Bridge for their pictures. The Midland / LMS style sloped fence at the back of the platform is protecting passengers from quite a drop down into trees, as the land dips here.

12088 [Shirley] at the eastern end of Greenrigg Halt's run-round loop. Sitting almost underneath Edgehill Bridge. . For the AVR to work trains beyond this bridge, a Transport & Works Order is needed as a very minor public road route crosses here.

Shirley - B.R. Class 11 0-6-0 DE shunter, built at Derby in 1951 [TOPS 12088] (carries ‘Shirley’ in memory of the wife of the late AVR stalwart Gordon Hall - who bought it for the AVR in 2012) 20 years working for BR, mainly in the Midlands until 1971. Transferred to Johnsons and used at serval north eastern NCB sites. Came to Lionheart in 2012. It has recently undergone a long-overdue heavy overhaul, the installation of vacuum brakes and been repainted into BR Black, with full "wasp" cab end. Seen here substituting on the passenger service for Renishaw - which had run a hot box on the previous train.

Class 11 Shunter - 12088 "Shirley" at the Aln Valley Railway (Lionheart Site). Named after the late wife of the owner. Needs some minor body and engine work before a full repaint but can be used.
