    I should be there on the Sunday, assuming Tim has received my ticket application ;-)

    Looks like being a good event... Let's hope the weather holds out!

    MHR loco roster says 5224 and 34007.

    I will be down for this event on Saturday. I haven't been for a few years now but I am really looking forward to it. I will also try to come in appropriate clothing too.

    Ah, thanks for that. I guess 60019 will be on the third train or will 850 be back in action after her boiler assessment?

    This will probably be the first year in many where they can have an all WW2 service. 60019 was built in 1938, 850 in 1929 and I think 5224 was built b4 WW2?

    Maybe lay some bits of 73096 by the track to simulate bomb damage? ;-)
