The Great Britain XV sees Guardsman’s day end in a failure at Lockerbie 18/4/23.

LMS 45596 Bahamas would be at the helm of the Railway Touring Companies railtour the Great Britain XV with Bahamas doing the leg from Llandudno to Carnforth where 46115 Scots Guardsman would take over for the attack of Shap and Beattock to Edinburgh . We first see the Jubilee 45596 Bahamas at Bay Horse running under caution.The next shot sees 46115 at Carnforth level just as she got into her stride. We then headed for Beattock and had set up nicely when news came through the 46115 had failed at Lockerbie due to a hot box on the tender . Thanks to Nige and Shep for the great company today. One for the record today as not what I had planned .

Thanks Steve for the Scot pity it failed later in the day as it was a bit of variety in the mix however thanks to the Jubs. Cheers Brian

Just one of those days Steve. Couple of decent shots anyway despite the disappointment of Beattock

[LeslieGilpinRailways]

Good to see you got at least two out of three. A shame it failed at Lockerbie as it seemed to make a good start from Carlisle.

[bodorganboys]

Where was the first shot taken? Its a different angle.
I thought it was you walking back to your car under the bridge at Bay Horse.
Shame about how things panned out at Lockerbie.
At least they've manged to get another engine up to Scotland for Wednesday and Thursday

[GreatBritishRailways]

Steve, Not the planned day but still a good day but I share your disappointment as Beattock is a great location. Regards, John

[AndreiTupolev]

Well, the loco didn't fail, the tender did ... 😒
