4498, return leg of The Cumbrian Mountain Express, Skipton-Carnforth, Giggleswick SD793638 With 850 'Lord Nelson' having worked the outward leg of The Cumbrian Mountain Express as far south as Skipton earlier in the day 4498 'Sir Nigel Gresley' was charged with the return working to Carnforth. In the late afternoon sunshine, under some lovely fluffy clouds and with the fells in the background, the locomotive and train make a fine sight as it accelerates away from Settle Junction at Giggleswick. The streamliners were never famed for both their exhaust displays and their sound with both of these characteristics belying the fact that the locomotive will be working hard climbing the long section of 1:100 at this location.
