    Thanks for posting. For anyone planning a future visit to the GWSR to see 35006 in action (which includes yours truly), as these photos indicate, it mow faces south (Cheltenham) rather than north (Broadway)

    It was missed. At the recent GWSR vintage vehicle day a number of my Lincoln Railway Society colleagues asked, Where is 35006 then? First time away since its arrival from Barry yard back in 1983, sorry folks!

    I was lucky enough to pop in to Toddington when 35006 was on it's steam test and struck lucky again as it came off the ramps. Must be my Guardian Engine.
