    Ben, will the Cumbrian Conqueror be picking up at Crewe? Even if it doesn't I'll be phoning tomorrow to book, having been behind EoME and Princess Elizabeth, there's no way I'm going to miss this combination.
    There will of course be those who will say the combination is all wrong, but who cares, it's the sight, sound and experience that matters, although with the Duchess on the front I don't suppose we will hear her much from on board.

    Ben,

    No sign of the projected Gloucester - London special with 5043. I presume that pathing issues through Reading killed it off? Really disappointed about this if so, but I guess it can't be helped. I'm sure all of you at Tyseley pulled out the stops to try and make it happen.

    I see no reason why it can't be attempted again in 2 years, albeit the knitting will be up and Reading looking a bit different then.

    Ralph, The CumbConq will be picking up from Crewe. I am going to be in the office from about 10am tomorrow (if I can battle my way through the snow!) so give me a ring.

    I suggest Enthusiast Class will be in high demand for that one!

    It is by no means dead - but it could not be confirmed 100% in time for the brochure.

    Just don't make any other plans for 11th May 2013!

    Shall request leave then just incase. One tour I don't want to miss if it's run.

    Nice selection of tours elsewhere too, hopefully book on one/two on offer :)

    I may book on that as well but I will have to check out when we are going away as it may clash.

    I have been told that due to the constuction of the front of a Duchess, they were never piloted when double headed. This may only be an urban myth but perhaps someone could confirm if this is fact or fiction..

    I read somewhere that a Duchess was not allowed to be lead engine when double heading although this did happen.
    There is plenty of photographic evidence of them being piloted.

    By the way Ralph, did you find what you were looking for?

    Thanks Alan, so somewhere someone may have got things a bit wrong, we shall see which takes the lead on the 15th June. I suppose the Duchess will just have to slog away with the extra load whatever. :tongue1:





    Regarding the other, yes thanks Alan, and very interesting too.
