The Fifteen Guinea Special IT57 10 Aug 08
The weather forecast was not good for this re run of the IT57 end of steam rail tour.Arrival at Settle was met with a heavy downfall of rain and gale force winds.I decided to watch the event just outside Horton in Ribblesdale station taking up my position at 12.45 and by 1.30 the field was full of photographers.Difficult at times to stay on your feet the wind was so strong.In fact some photographers/video had come back from Ribbleshead because the wind was like galeforce they said.
BR Britannia class No 70013 'Oliver Cromwell' arrived at 2.06 past the gallery of watchers.I decided becasue of the weather not to stay and watch the later run with 450407 + 45231.Great day though even with the weather.
