During the last two days the lads from Blok Build CNC who actually built the floor and walls of our extension did the finishing touches. They were rewarded for their labours by a surprise visit through Settle of Flying Scotsman en route from Manchester to Carlisle.
These three fine pictures appeared soon afterwards on the Visit Settle Facebook website:
Interesting to compare the picture above with that below. Notice that the black smoke starting to blast out of the chimney is a great deal bigger in picture 2 below, a split second later. The momentary black puff of smoke indicates that a shovelful of coal has gone into the firebox. Northbound at Settle it is a 1:100 uphill gradient - hard work for firemen.
Our three Blok Build heroes insisted on viewing from the over-bridge despite my advice that they risked being kippered in smoke. You can just see one of their heads in picture #1!
