A rare sight at our railway in recent years - two home-based locomotives raising steam together!
401 heads off shed to haul today's passenger trains whilst ACC5 raises steam for further testing in Middle Engine Lane yard.

ACC5 brought over the pit to oil up between the frames.
On test in the yard.
401 arrives with the 1205 from Percy Main.
ACC5 and 401 in steam together for the first time since 1996!

Pausing at the Tyne Tunnel Trading Estate pedestrian crossing to check for any bearings that might be running hot.
