Yes Phil I went through the station.Looked good.Stay safe.

Puzzled why it had to be dragged. Have seen them working without con rods fitted. So it couldn't be that. Ahh, the little Gronk hadn't signed the road through the station ,, needed a Chaperone !! Lol. Was watching it all on Railcam,, made me late for work. 'Oh dear' Nice vid mate,, big thumbs up . Take care Pete. 👍😀🐢

Thanks Ian. I think the rods were left off so it could be dragged a bit faster. Not allowed to run my itself, due to all Network Rails regulations, even though only a short distance. Worth being late for work for, like me! If you saw it on railcam, you would probably have seen me in the distance?

Superb, but I just LOVE that little Flowerpot..... 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Thanks Richard. Certainly. The 08 had been delivered by road, after overhaul ( at Derby, I think). to the Heritage Centre, to make use of our unloading facility.. Then it had to be dragged across to the carriage sidings, where it was going on hire. Not allowed to go under its own power, due to all Network Rail regulations
