234 views11 /08/2013 - Returning IT57 cross Whalley Viaduct at least 20 minutes early, Black 5`s 44932 & 45231 head towards Blackburn and then onto Manchester.

I was walking to a position nearer the river as they came 20 minutes early catching me by surprise. I missed the outing going leg with 70013 due to visiting family in Leicestershire over the weekend.

234 viewsAt the back of the driving position and between the engine compartment, there are some panels - Removing one of the panel covers shows the state of the electrics - bakealite switches. Not very safe after 60 years. These would all have to be replaced with modern switch gear and all upgraded before it would be allowed to run again.
It would not be the same machine if done. Just a shell of the original machine would remain.
