But did it? I never saw 60700 north of Doncaster but saw it, and travelled behind it, south of there. It seemed to work one of those short Top Shed diagrams which saw it returning south from either Peterborough or Grantham but no doubt those more familiar with it than my no more than twice yearly visits to the ECML north of Selby will know more about is later working life than I did. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dandg Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 There is a picture of 60700 leaving York on Flickr https://www.flickr.com/photos/knoxrj/51483150822/in/photolist-2mroB6q-2bymAfH-dNbEhU-BQxs8W-F2gbKU-AuXjmn-Uarn94-pqJF6e-Bq4xXJ-ARxxw6-yRsvDW-gp3Kr3-yefQha-CNb5p8-et9Ary-btgC5J-xsPZLA-xFxLuH-btgCeW-eTGwDD-2k7FiaV-zeRuGt-2hZmE4i-AuqzGo-aBbqwH-nYf3yc-AtjF23-AtmsLs-AwBog2-yoENcB-hjTLM1-aEoXXM-aySCGi-nmxkGQ-CN5jUr-btgBxQ-mCRhnk-BuHFrA-btgBPJ-A6N7Fw-HcboP9-dN8hN8-bkoPDs-r72vt6-yyzLcq-y4qskE-zyLdRa-xRufP1-AwBtmn-qDEJMw 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hornby rep visited Scoonie Hobbies and my dad was asking about the Azuma and was advised Hornby have a container on the way but has been delayed by the hold ups at ports in the USA and now expected mid December. Possible they could be in that delivery but it shows how things are delayed totally out with their control. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the trees still haven't turned yet. It's this Gobal Warming you know. I blame Boris - we won't be allowed to have the main leaf fall until after this Climate Change conference he's having in Glasgow. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold MikeParkin65 Posted November 3, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 3, 2021 Not featured this week but it was seen running on their test track. Set-track style admittedly but the swing of the cab away from the track on curves was very noticeable, more than for a Pacific I’d say. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a Hush Hush ordered but oh rats! Now he has me interested in the Big Boy. Why? Well, we have a narrow gauge Fairlie and a 00 Beyer Garratt. The Big Boy would represent the third major variety of articulated loco. Wrong scale, I know. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder.............................. Not quite. He's saying the real loco was unsuccessful in its original 'Hush-Hush' form and was rebuilt as a conventional boiler'd loco with A4 streamlining, which it was. Hornby is therefore producing models of the rebuilt loco (such as R3843, the garter blue W1 EP seen on the TV show) which will use the same chassis as the grey W1, wearing a different body tool, as SK says in the video. Doesn't mean Hornby definitely isn't considering updating or retooling its A4, but there haven't been any clues or hints of such a project. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
