Bulleid Pacifics - Past or Present

That narrows it down to an eejit residing in one of two other railway-related camps... Anyway, intend to attend the KWVR gala to spend all day behind 34092. Happiness personified, methinks!

 

As for 34101, the chassis is substantially complete. As its halfway through an overhaul, I guess it all depends on the circumstances of the now previous owner's wishes. I only hope they don't put a chime whistle on it like they did last time.

 

They worked to Brum - thats up north is it not

Exiled south London boy - fetches coat and tin hat

 

Anywhere north of Watford Gap is North for you Southerners! And yes they did work to Brum but they seemed to struggle a bit with Old Hill bonk.

 

No sun this morning, Dave. Enjoyable few hours nevertheless

Nice Steve!

I saw the arse end of it at Ropley when you were "playing" with her in the pines - please tell me she wasn't wearing the Pines Express headboard at that point...........

 

Ilfracombe - Mortehoe - Braunton was a bit more than a lump & bump, as was Exeter - Okehampton - Plymouth!

 

I know there's some serious lumps & bumps in that part o the world.

I rest my case - especially to the nay Sayer's on here!

 

I don't think the MHR will hire her just yet. The theme for the 2015 Spring Gala is not the Southern Region so I was told last weekend. Can't say too much yet but there might be a very interesting visitor to the MHR at the beginning of next year for running in before appearing at the Gala.
34092 would be nice for the Autumn Gala though! How about a Bulleid fest for next October?

 

46100 ?

 

As I said before I can't say what the visitor will be just yet!

 

Has the date of the Gala been annouced ?

 

First weekend in March IIRC!

 

Pleased to report that 007 seemed to be running well last night on the RAT, no repeats of the previous issues (at least that's how it seemed from behind the bar).

 

It was 925 that was having issues last night; but she made it to the end of the night!

 

If it aint one, its t'other!

Both seemed fine on the service trains yesterday - though Wadebridge did a lot of blowing off at Alton.......

Impressed the guys I was working with - though I doubt others would be so!

 

Should be March.

 

Thanks.
I might miss it since I may go to SSS4 .

 

Did hear the other day they are looking at the last weekend in February. Which would be 27th Feb to 1st March. But this could always change. Best wait until the 2015 timetable is printed.

 

I believe next years timetable leaflet has already been printed....................... someone took a snap of it, and it showed the SSG as being 1st w/e in March......... I'll see if I can find it.......
