Indeed, would need a genny van or ETS loco in the formation which is not ideal

They have quite a few air braked steam locos.
I know because i rode behind one 2 weeks ago in the west coast mk2 set.
I dont think the black 5s they usually use are air fitted though, but i dont think the kind who ride it are that fussy though

AIUI the Jacobite is contracted to any of the three Ian Riley black fives 44871 45212 and 45407 and all three are dual braked.
Air conditioned stock not ideal either!

Especially when it decides to malfunction in hot weather

What, a Bristol-Duffield charter? Can you imagine that getting many takers?
Well I would GUESS at it being a Bristol to York/Scarborough with a set down at either Derby with a bus or Duffield for accross the footbridge

Bristol to Chesterfield I believe. The motive power involved may well have 16 wheels....
Ohhh Chesterfield for barrow hill I assume

I'm guessing this is referring to a Peak?
A heritage bus from Chesterfield to Derby via Wirksworth could work, if the charter stopped at Derby.

I'm sure all will be revealed when the tour gets advertised. I imagine the tour will stop at Duffield to connect with the EVR for the Class 14 event

A pair of Class 20s?

No.
I have to be fair I've been mulling this over and tbh Bristol to Chesterfield sounds a bit meh to me, now if they did positioning tours on the Friday, say Crewe to Bristol via Chester Wrexham, Abergavenny, Severn tunnel junc, Lydney and Gloucester and Sunday via Bath, Newbury, Oxford and Evesham now that would turn into 100% attendance for me

LSL have posted this tweet - "Our Diesel team lifted out 47853’s engine yesterday. The engine and generator are going away for a full overhaul and will become a part of our 'spares pool'. 47853 (unofficially referred to as 'The Moose') will recieve (sic) the engine from 47501 'Craftsman'."

Huh?
47501 went like a rocket when it was on form, but this was to a certain extent its downfall. I believe certain adjustments were made in 501's latter career to address various electrical issues so fingers crossed the power unit transplant won't turn the Moose into a similar Jekyll & Hyde character!

Is that a brake/generator car or a steam loco support coach....or both? What does 'B & C' mean?

That's potentially two 16 wheelers out that day then. The other going to the seaside...
Well the pathfinder one using 40145 has dropped on the site today, so if I was LSL I'd put the peak one out soon as, of course the trouble is how much confidence is there that it would show as booked with the sign of a test run, people will remember the last time it was advertised

The Scotrail push-pull set worked from Toton back to Crewe today, not sure what was hauling it:

The steam set for Saphos/Steam Dreams tours also returned to Crewe yesterday, after being painted at Arlington. Down to just one Mk2 coach in it now, as opposed to two last year. There is a Mk1 FO under overhaul so hopefully next year's programme will be fully Mk1 for the first time.

Forget that announced on the BLS site that 46045 is visiting the WSR gala, not the 45 still must be 20years since a 46 was in Minehead and that was 035 so still good
