    I understand they were initially requested on 5029 from the loco crews after they were concerned about the risk of falling out when in motion. There's nowhere to stand on the front of a GWR tender, unlike others where you can tuck yourself into a...

    Pete, we were extremely lucky. I was on Manston yesterday and the first spots of rain came at 16.30 and then only a steady light rain by 17.30 when I left so we did well to miss the worst. Enjoyable day on the light pacific, nice to get onto a...
