We go forward to 14th June when 11456 was to double head with 52322 on an ‘L&Y Running Day’ at the ELR but had to be taken off at Ramsbottom due to a problem with the motion.

On May 17th and 18th our Bogie Brake 1474 and Club Carriage 47 were used at short notice by the Worth Valley for their 1940s Weekend, featuring a wide range of events and recreations of the era, unfortunately the risk of lineside fires dictated that the steam locos were assisted by diesels.
