Evening all
This must be one of the strangest Tour titles since the return to steam.
Just found these photos i took in June 1984 of 4498 Sir Nigel Gresley hauling ‘Clitheroe Parish Church The Clitheronian’
Anyone know of any stranger ones?
4498 at Heaton Lodge Jct before modernisation

Re: Anyone remember this tour?
Great pics 
One question though, why is there sheeting / netting over the tender?

They are not particularly good photos, I'm afraid.

Re: Anyone remember this tour?
Where are you seeing that? It looks to me as if the coal space backplate is in primer.why is there sheeting / netting over the tender?
My dad might well have been on that run - I'll see if he remembers.
Re: Anyone remember this tour?
Absolutely right. Primer on the coal space backplate. '98 had just completed a general overhaul at Carnforth and this was the first job, Blackburn to York via Manchester and Leeds and a real scorcher of a day. Happy days indeed.
