Due to a loco failure the previous evening there was no train at Kingston, so the morning light engine movement from Kingston to Bradknop was rather larger than the usual 1 or 2 locos. Evening Star was to take the MK1s left at Bradknop back to Kingston as a ECS move, 92029 was on P-Way duties again, Bradknop's class 14 was suffering from transmission problems and Bradknop needs a shunter, hence the Jinty, & the 8f was on driver training courses that day using the demo freight. A grand sum of 29f on BR's power rating!
Every winter Camden's museum coaches (the teak sleepers & GWR Ocean Mails van) and the camping coaches (LNER tourist twin) are taken to Bradknop for maintainance & storage out of the elements, the day they were scheduled to be moved happened to be that day of the '29f' light engine move.
48537 leaves Kingston as the snow gets heavier, at least the snow isn't settling.
Is it a ghost freight, or 48537 on driver training duties in heavy snow?!
Later that day the snow did stop, only to be replaced by heavy rain! 'Evening Star' waits for clearance to go on shed as 48537 waits for the last cold soaked passengers to board before departure.
British winters, you can't beat em!
