WINTER DUCHESS - a photo on Flickriver

WINTER DUCHESS

            LMS 8P 4-6-2 46229 Duchess of Hamilton comes out of the tunnel at Baron Wood on the Settle and Carlisle with the Cumbrian Mountain Pullman on 27-2-82. I'm pretty certain I got the date right as I can remember the wait at Armathwaite, as usual corrections greatfully received. 
Gordon Lacy comments on the Six Bells Junction website that First stop after Carlisle was a booked photostop at Armathwaite. Bearing in mind the length of the platform v. the length of the train, this resulted in a 20+ min 'over-run'! Speeds were, to say the least 'pedestrian', not perhaps surprising with a crew unfamiliar to a coal-gobbling "Duchess"! A decision was made to cut the 'lunch stop' at Appleby, and introduce a further 'photostop' at Kirkby Stephen, replacing the Garsdale stop. However, many folk had walked into Appleby and SLOA were forced to wait for the stragglers! The "Duchess" made a reasonable climb to Ais Gill, 'topping' at 32mph.
