  2. Wagoniester replied to the thread Kent & East Sussex Railway.

    Had hoped for Hastings or Knowle, but given it's a 'peak' time weekend I guess those were probably always a bit of a stretch (not sure if Knowle is back in action yet, as a recent newsletter said it needed spring hanger bushes replaced first....

  7. Wagoniester liked RichardSalmon's post in the thread Bluebell Railway General Discussion.

    It was only at the weekend that I heard about the plan to turn 80151 to face North. My assumption is that it's for a loco line-up (like last year's with the four new-builds, at the North end of Horsted Keynes) at Giants. Doing it when there's a...
