Duke of Gloucester & Nunney Castle Haha!!

 

Hagley hall and s15 i hope either way glad theres a gwr loco coming they dont normally post clues wonder when its actually going to be announced whats visiting

 

6695 perhaps.

 

Which S15 fits the BR green early emblem clue ?

 

Braunton and Nunney Castle now confirmed on facebook

 

An Early Christmas Treat!

We’re thrilled to announce that 34046 Braunton and 5029 Nunney Castle will be joining us for our Spring Steam Gala, thanks to our friends at Locomotive Services Limited.

Nunney Castle last visited the KWVR back in the 1990s, while Braunton will be making her first-ever appearance on the line, completing an impressive 9-locomotive gala line-up alongside our home fleet.

This is one not to miss kwvr.co.uk/events/thesteamgala/

 

Well 30506 has early emblem but not green, but I didn't think nunney castle had gwr lettering so neither clues where much use

 

Also sure nunney castle didn't turn up 2013 because of gauging

 

well I was 50% right!!

 

It is gauged to Keighley. There were different reasons in 2013.

 

Thanks glad to hear looking forward to a trip behind it

 

75078 removed from steam gala webpage, wonder why?

 

Thanks
I dont have Face ache

 

That's a shame. I was hoping to see 75078 and 34046 double-headed.

 

45407 announced as third visting engine.

 

Thanks for that info
I wondered if another loco might be coming with 75078 not appearing

 

Will KWVR be hiring a rake of coaches from WCRC again?

LSL locos pulling WCRC coaches!!

 

You just use a

Triang to Hornby converter van, no problems then,
