>> on the detail

A problem with the compressed air pump for the braking system, was fixed last Wednesday by stealing one from a loco currently under rebuild at Crewe. Running this weekend with air in the pipe supplied by support loco, this weekend with its own air.

>> Other steamers are on standby for Saturday ' just in case'.

Wednesday is for its MOT test!

Railway Group Standard GM/RT2003 (Certification Requirements for Registration of Steam Locomotives ) states:
"5.1.9 Following completion of the overhaul and examinations and prior to the first commercial operation on Railtrack controlled infrastructure, a Steam Locomotive shall be subject to a trial run. This shall normally be of at least 50 miles in length, depending on the class of locomotive and include continuous running at the maximum permissible operating speed of the
locomotive in the formation being operated during the trial. The objective of the trial is to demonstrate to the Certification Body that the locomotive is capable of operating safely at the speeds and loads at which it is intended to be operated on Railtrack controlled infrastructure. " The full document can be found at: www.rssb.co.uk/rgs/standards/gmr ... ss%201.pdf

Two Riley Black 5's on hot standby just in case it fails.
