Hi Phil. I am not sure. I will try and have a look next week if I get down there. Thanks Ian -
Looks even sadder today... No roof between the cabs now, and big bits of engine removed, but the body sides are still in place!!!! Ian

Hi David, Looking at the state of it and what is missing (side rods, tender) I am inclined to think not. May be it could be used to keep Tangmere going? Still only time will tell! Today we have some photos from 16 July 2013, Network Rail had a steam ban in force because of the long dry summer. Not sure how WCR managed some of the workings they did on this day! 34046 Braunton and 57315 arrive at Carnforth from Bury ELR. 34046 is serviced in WCR yard prior to working its loaded test run. 37516 crosses Carnforth North Junction with an ECS working to Bo'ness 57315 runs light through Carnforth to join the rear of 34046's stock 47854 and 57316 head into Carnforth D&UGL prior to a light engine movement North over the WCML 34046 departs Carnfoth D&UGL with her loaded test run. Kind regards Ian

Hi All. Having looked at a number of recent threads on here, I thought that I could add some of the photos that I have taken around Carnforth area. Also I am using ImageShack for these photos, its the first time I have used it, so I am not sure just how big these will appear!!!! Any thoughts or comments are most welcome. To start with we have a few taken on 7th February 2014. 47236 in one of the sheds at Carnforth. Work was happening in this shed at the time of the photo, and all other locos in this shed are in WCR Maroon, so weather this loco is been repaired or having parts removed to keep others going in the question? 08485 shunting in the yard 47526 (notice a D number next to the left hand cab) 37710, 37517 and 47776 stand with 2 shunters (unsure of class) a crane and a fireless loco. Now this one surprised me. 34073 Battle of Britain class 249 Squadron stands in a sorry state. I will post some more during the week! Thanks or looking Ian

I found a few sad liking class 47's today at WCR Carnforth.... Sorry chaps, hankies at the ready..... And the last one does seem to be having work done, but I am not sure if it is to get it going again, or taking parts off it? Sorry to distress you with these photos........ Ian

Today I found the remains of 34073 looking in a very sad way!

There is some strange bright thing in the sky, its warm and white/yellow. I think I remember it.... something to do with summer

Nice photos Jeff, keep them coming. What happened to the head code box on the nose end of 20163? Kind regards Ian -
Apparently it is more important to tidy the house than work on a train set!! Train set, how many times? It is a model railway!!!
-
Not sure if this is the best place to ask, but....... What is happening with 70099? I have not heard any mention of it lately. Kind regards Ian

Joy! My winter cough is back, and keeping every one awake.... Wife says if the Doctor can't stop it she will!!!!
-
has just dropped the new bottle of olive oil on the kitchen floor. Glass everywhere, and the oil on the tiles!!!!
-
Just for a change..... more wind and rain. May need to rethink my plans for today, going on the roof may not be the best idea. Looks like it could be a railway day!
-
What a day! I won

Not sure the whys and wherefores, but it seems that I am getting four locos for Christmas!!! 8F, Black 5, Cl 28, and an industrial tank loco. Thanks to wife, mother in law, and my parents...
-
Well........ Lets start with a confession.... I have made the bridge for the industrial line, it is painted, and I have started to weather it. Here ends the good news!!! Ok, now for the confession, I measured the width of the wagons and not the locos... Untill this point when I put a Bachmann Jinty on the bridge and the steps touched the sides, the choice of locos had not crossed my mind. I think I may have found a loco that will fit. It is a Sharpe Stewart tank, so like the exFurness tanks, and will fit the location very well, and it is HO gauge and should fit. I found these on ebay, and the seller has a shop near my parents, so I asked my dad if he could get some sizes, and the same day RJL put in his status update that he had got one, a quick email later (many thanks RJL) I had the sizes. One has been ordered with Santa (via my parents! And dad let it slip " I got you that engine") So hopefully all will be well! Lesson form this, think about the largest item that will cross the main bridge before I cut and stick! Talking of which, I have been working out how to make tha stone arches for this bridge, I then came across the Wills SS69 stone arches, so ordered a pack which should all been well arrive tomorrow and make life easier......

Today I have seen a snowplough in WCR yard at Carnforth, yet the weather remains unseasonably warm!
