As mentioned on the weekly update post this past week has been a very busy week for loco movements, unfortunately 60009 did not make it due to firebox problems but 61264 (via road) and 45690 ‘Leander’ did along with supporting West Coast class 47 47237 did.<\/p>\n

61264 + POB Arriving by road Wednesday 18th April it was coaled and watered and left for Edinburgh Waverley early Saturday morning to be part of the Great Britain XI tour. No running pictures of the loco was captured at Birkhill, however, a brief video of it returning from Perth at Dalmeny Junction at 16:50 23rd April 2018 can be seen on the Birkhill Group’s video Gallery.<\/p>\n

At a more reasonable time for us Birkhill volunteers we managed to get to the station earlier enough on Saturday to see Leander + POB and 9 SRPS Railtour coaches run through to Manuel in preparation for the SRPS Forth Circle Railtour<\/p>\n

Sunday was equally as eventful, with the tireless no.19 pulling, Leander, along with its West Coast class 47 support loco, was hooked up to the rear of the 10:45 from Bo’ness were it continued\u00a0 to Manuel to join the mainline on its way home.<\/p>\n
