She's looking and sounding good.

Some of that green looks fairly pale in some of the pictures...

Post by x568wcn »

Bittern has finally moved by itself with nothing pushing or pulling

and it took a trip up the line and back, and to record this special occasion, the driver (no less) drove with camcorder in hand!

Steam Railway says Bittern might not be able to fulfill it's July 7 Charter.

And November 10th, Sir Nigel is to Go to the LNER festival at Barrow Hill, from Middlesborough, picking up at York, and Thirsk.

Bittern is out for 777, but it's to be rescheduled, (not while I'm away I hope!)

Now Duke of Gloucstershire is out for the time being, and pulled out of it's coming tours including the SSE
14-16 Aug Bittern lead engine for Scarborough Spa Express
18 Aug Bittern lead engine for Cumbrian Mountain Express
27-30 Bittern lead engine Aug Scarborough Spa Express
8 Sept Bitterns on The Hadrian

Only thing is, it's just A4 Cover, as when Bittern is on, Union isn't down as reserve!
