Double Headed Steam Blasts Through Settle

 I hope the link works,  Video courtesy of our neighbours DCC Concepts.  1606 today and the Winter Cumbrian Mountain Express, en route to London Euston. double headed and whistle wide comes flying through Settle station.

I do hope they make it home to London as railway lines here and there have been closed during today because of high winds blowing down trees.  Locally, the Tyne Valley Line and the Aire Valley Line have been closed but the good old S&C was well and truly open.

Sound on and you will hear the whistle blowing a respectful salute for Derek Soames at Settle churchyard then a full blown fanfare at Settle station.

The w.h.o.b.* in the blue jacket at the station doorway is me.  Once a train-spotter etc.
