82045 The way ahead?

Excellent news, really starting to take shape, and it sounds like their "back office" structure is thinking ahead to morphing into a running operation.

 

Well done to the team. I will not see it at Derby. My fault for not getting a ticket. Enjoy the show, and the running of the loco on the Severn Valley Railway whenever that happens.

 

What is written on the plaque on the cab steps on drivers side please (seen in the photo from behind in the last update).

 

More tickets go on sale on Friday morning.

 

I know that there are more tickets available. I cannot attend as I haven't got prior permission from the Job Centre to go away. Cannot afford accommodation or train travel. Most of my monthly Universal Credit goes on paying bills, and is gone a few days after going on my account on 19th of every month. My brother is going on the Saturday. He got his ticket first time round, and booked his accommodation straight afterwards. He works. Hope he will get a few photos of the loco for me, plus most things there.

 

Well spotted Robert. I don't know the answer, but maybe a working member can enlighten us. If not, I will pop down next Monday and find out!

 

Thank you. Sorry that I have not seen 82045 since 29 October 2011, when it was just the frames. Also, that was my last ever visit to the line.

 

The plate simply states that the engine is owned by the 82045 Fund and not the Severn Valley Railway. Most engines on the SVR have similar plates.

 

Thank you LMS2968. Much appreciated.

 

Thank you. Sorry for not knowing, or noticing them when I was there on 29 October 2011.

 

It wasn't there then!

 

I know. Just been through all my photos from that day.

 

Great news, and nice to see that they have now made provision for small and occasional donations. Suitable for those of us with limited and irregular income !

 

You wait for one and two arrive!
