The remaining fault with the brakes on D1566 has been resolved this morning and the loco is now ready for a loaded test run. The Type 4 will joining 6940 on the last trip of today’s running day, the 16:00 departure, working in top and tail mode.
Here’s the 12 cylinder Sulzer beast at Carrog on 12th February 2008 on one of the last diesel-worked Thomas trains, the last time I second manned the loco.
Here’s hoping for a trouble free test run meaning the loco can star at next weekend’s 60’s event!
