Good to see an alternative view...'for balance' as they say. But this is a classic example of when the alternative view, whilst valid in its own right, counts for little if you are the SVR planning an event. When you set out a gala event there...

Good to hear. She looks and sounds amazing. A loco to be proud of.

Fortunately not. I noticed that it twice dropped live coals in the four foot, and it is reported the dampers (although I suspect the hopper) doors aren't closing fully. A bit of tin bashing by Brian should sort it out.

I did see rather a lot of people dressed in footplate gear, using the Teddy Bear as a tripod on the webcam earlier… Nice to see those efforts :) Just out of interest where does No29’s whistle come from? That sounds impressive.

LMS2968 liked Gladiator 5076's post in the thread A2 60532 Blue Peter.
I am not attending so little interest to me either way, but I have found all the "grief" expressed by folks over this gala compared to others either here previous years, or elsewhere strange. I can understand the which way will the locos face,...

I find it drily amusing that you go to the effort of promoting a gala, you have an absolutely megastar visitor (take a bow, Fenchurch); a home-railway favourite back after overhaul and looking the bees knees (the Stanier Mogul) and yet all anyone...

You're getting Fenchurch, FFS! What more do you want? :) But being more serious - surely it is better for the SVR to have two bites of the enthusiast cherry? In other words, the gala is presumably seen as good value based on what is advertised....

:):) There’s not a lot to say about 4930 tbh. A fault reported last weekend (6th/7th) was investigated in the week. It was discovered that it needed to go to BH for repair. It went. That repair is complete. It needs to be formally tested and...
