    No.

    Giants last year was Sir Archie, Beachy Head, Camelot, Wightwick Hall and Sir Nigel Gresley.

    This year it is due to be Beachy Head, Lady of Legend, Betton Grange, Tornado and presumably one other home fleet loco.

    I was going to say 'How can 6989 be a pig for a fireman to prepare? You only have one gauge glass to clean so less work to do." However, I forgot that on the BB you leave the fires in and have to paddle them out in the morning. I'd have included that in disposal, which would be a pig. ;)

    That's the only reason I keep saying I want another gauge glass - to give myself something to do in the morning ...

    Is that a cue for me to post my photo of 80145 hauling four Maunsell coaches and nothing else yet again?

    No Bryan, you're pushing your luck. Just accept it will never happen. And accept that the line up for G.O.S this year will attract vast numbers of grocers. Railway Enthusiasts too!

    Bryan :)

    I don't see why 80151 + 4 Maunsells won't happen? That's a perfectly viable combination of B set stock and B turn loco. (Admittedly, when they came into service they also had the Obo on the back).

    It's an unlikely combination for Giants of Steam but I'd suggest quite possible for Branchline weekend.

    The Obo does seem to me to be the 'block'. But that earns money for the Bluebell. Whilst running without it will lose that benefit and only be appreciated by an incredibly small number of your visitors.

    Maybe a Branchline weekend could see that happen though.
