As all the windows open heard a couple of unusual trains
11:25 freight train very different sound to Class 59/66 possibly Class 70 it sounded like a Liner Train but as the leaves obscure my view I'm not sure could even have been a 37?
11:35 sounded distinctly like a steam loco seemed to be chopping them off at 3 beats to the bar so possibly Tornado?
Any thoughts or was I dreaming?

I often have transport-related dreams. Only last night, I had one that involved trains, motorbikes, dogs, hotels, political meetings, and was set in a seaside town...
My advice is to avoid eating party food (particularly doughnuts) before you go to bed.

Does bobm have a reputation for being weird that required such clarification?  |

Lighter blue ones would include Mallard and Bittern ( LNER» Garter Blue) and they are both in York at the moment. Darker blue (Express Passenger Blue) and it could possibly have been GWR▸ 'King' Class, 6023 King Edward II. None of the preserved 9Fs currently have a blue coat as far as I'm aware. |

Tornado is currently in blue.
And I don't believe that King Edward II is main line certified yet.
