Title: The Giggleswick Shunter
Title: and the Petrol Train
The platform sign at Giggleswick railway station and a diesel locomotive along with a LMS Stainer Class Five pulling a train of tanker wagons through the station. At different points along the railway line two BR Standard Class 9F steam locomotives work in conjunction with a diesel locomotive to pull a train of tanker wagons, a third passes slowly not attached to any tankers but still attached to the diesel locomotive.
Again, the platform sign at Giggleswick station changing to a LMS Stainer Class Five 44709 moving back and forth along the tracks as it shunt various wagons near to a signal box. Driving backwards it pulls a set of wagons heading off into the distance.
A BR Standard Class 9F 92160 pulls a train of coal wagons across a bridge over a river. David Ellwood sits on the grass watching as an LMS Stainer Class Five now travels over the bridge in the opposite direction pulling a train of wagons including two flatbed wagons containing a tractor and trailer. Along the riverbank David kicks stone changes to him watching as Stainer Class Five seen a moment ago now steams back across the bridge still pulling the wagon containing the tractor.
