Although I was not on the tour I can confirm that No.4 traction motor has suffered a flashover. Info from Lee Kenny on the loco not speculation and rumour from the net.

Cotton Mill is a mainline working passing through East Lancashire. But NOT operating over the metals of the ELR. Hence it is in the 'Mainline' section Which states the following on the index page: "Details of ELR related charters, tours etc. using both steam and diesel loco's." fairly sel...

Nice to see a positive outward looking attitude - as usual It's not really that to be fair. There's more than enough forums to discuss 46115, 6233, or the Winklybunion Valley Railway's next steam gala - and we all know where to find 'em.

Steve - This forum is about the ELR and loco's based there NOT WCRC or the RTC.

There are plenty of other internet sites covering the general charter scene both Diesel and Steam.

The non ELR stuff appearing on here dilutes the important stuff IMHO.

What has this thread got to do with the ELR??

Again I echo what David has said above.
