    42698 has a broken spring and won't be running. Diesel now taking the 4 coach local. 75069 may be ready to take over at some point much later today.

    It was definitely turned at the booked 3pm time. Took the 3:30pm out a good 48 minutes or so late.

    My efforts from yesterday’s running, a good day out even with the later runnings.

    Really enjoyed the event yesterday, excellent variety and thoroughly enjoyed a couple of runs behind 46115 - sounded superb on the run up to the tunnel.
    My parents really enjoyed the auto train and D1062 always a firm favourite too with plenty of thrash! Loads going on, even with the failure of the mogul, which nobbled the timetable from the start.
    Must admit we found the Inspiration Train a little uninspiring (!), suspect if you had kids in tow it would go down a bit better.
    Overall a great event that seemed well attended, perhaps a blue print for something similar in the future?
