    I've just enjoyed 80 miles of steam haulage today behind Erlestoke Manor at the WSR. It is a superb locomotive and handled the banks with ease. It certainly is a very popular loco with the WSR crews. [BJ]

    Preview day on the Thursday (10th) looks exciting. It appears to be the only day where three trains are hauled by double-headed Spamcans (Swanage to Norden). Memories of the S&D Midsomer Norton back in March, 1966 for me. <BJ>...
