Back
She Arrived back...only 30 mins late again, she was under her own steam, but I forgot to mention that the diesel was powered.
One passenger I met at the NRM this morning, whome I met this evening on the Station (who was from Australia, and complaining Monday night/Tuesday Morning over here was too hot!) said they'd said she runs with the diesel, or she doesn't run, but watching her leaving the station tonight, she did look to struggle with the 13 coaches, until the diesel revved up!
40 mins I stood here waiting!!

same thinking here in Dallas 
Highs above 102F for 9 days in a row, and 107F yesterday. 20% chance of rain at the weekend - yeah right!
It is too hot! Even the A/C gives up in the late afternoon.
There's Tropical Storm Beryl off the Carolinas at the moment, that may hit the UK in about a week's time. It won't be tropical by the time you get it, but it might bring some wind and rain...

Rained today, but diesel was still there, but tonight I watched her turn round (she went in forwards on Tuesday Night!) and after last year, one day Scotsman came in with clean stock, and next morning each and every toilet window (might be a toilet window fetish there) had a little graffiti on them, so this year west coast are taking no chances of leaving them at Holgate for the next 4 days, and as Green Arrow turns round, the diesel runs round, and hauls the stock back to the safety of the NRM!
On the last 2 nights I waited round, and even with my 5 year old first digital very slow camera, you can still get good shots with one chance!
