With the Dalesman Steam Service not running again and needing my steam fix I have made a new Steam only Playlist featuring Heritage Steam Trains on the East Lancashire Heritage Railway for all those fellow suffers.
Please enjoy.

As for electrical problems, to allow a steam engine to run on the mainline today, there are a lot of electricals that are running for the likes of signalling

Whilst I don’t know all the electrics of the WC Class, the loco’s lighting could be affected.

Clive I love your sense of humour, I know how they make steel from cast iron (they add carbon) so if they stop using coal where is the carbon content coming from, the dirty coal imported from many miles away is going to create far more CO2 than if we mined it in the UK, so the new Arc plant will create more CO2 than the old one!!!???
