70000 was failed at Carlisle, reported as a big end problem, so did not work the return.

70000 has worked past Low Moor Cottages as it climbs towards Shap.

Hard at work approaching Scout Green.

Passing the crowd near Scout Green, with sanders on.




3140 was rebuilt last year at Eastleigh Works, where Commonwealth bogies were changed to B4 type, and Central Door Locking was fitted, along with door bars.
