We're back! Apologies for the lack of updates, in January a disk
in my back went pop (OUCH) and so no more outings for a few weeks.
Sandbach station and 323225

Calveley, between Crewe and
Chester and 60163 "TORNADO" is in charge
of The Cathedrals Express en route for Holyhead. Sadly the locomotive
failed just outside Rhyl on the return trip with what I understand
was a compressor failure. A class 67 was called from Holyhead
to take the train forward. 21/04/2013
