    1466, 4079 "Pendennis Castle" and 4144 also rostered in steam alongside 32424 - 1466 is currently still in bits though. I wouldn't be surprised if 1340 runs instead.

    There is hopefully one more loco to go, we may end up publishing the timetable before announcing that, we should be in a position to publish the timetable next week. Sent from my PGT-N19 using Tapatalk

    Out of curiosity so that I can confirm and make arrangements. When can we expect the timetable please? Or is there another loco to be added to the line up? Thanks
