On its' way south through Carlisle on the morning of 25th August 2005, a Sentinel DF4 steam lorry, painted in the colours of Lloyd Jones Brothers of Llanfair D.C., Ruthin, is caught travelling to a steam gathering in Lazonby. The vertical boilered coal-fired lorry made good, if smoky, progress through the city via Warwick Road, Eastern Way and London Road - bypassing the tight corners in the city centre. The vehicle is fitted out for tar spraying.

For car drivers behind, the smell of the smoke is entirely different from the petrol fumes usually breathed in.
