I had never travelled on the S&C in the days of steam,
so at some stage I was going to have to put that right. In the autumn of 1988,
my friend, John, asked me to join him on a charter that was coming up from
London and off we went.
It was steam from Hellifield to Carlisle and back, with
Stanier Class 8F 2-8-0 No. 48151. She performed well, as we have learnt to
expect from this stalwart of the preservation movement. We all disembarked at
Dent and the 8F reversed for a photographic run-past.
