    When 9466 was confirmed I decided to go to this, having missed out last year when the loco was unavailable (I haven't seen either of the 94XX's yet), but after 4079's exploits on the MHR I'm looking forward to seeing the loco again here too.

    You wouldn't have thought it was an ex-LNER line looking it this!
    Still looks a cracker! I'll keep an eye for any untoward problems [strikes], if there are none, so going to be there!

    Quick on on the timetable, I assume Isabel’s set is loco-brake van-DMU and it’s push pull with loco on the Epping end?

    I suspect so as the driving cab of the DMU will be used as the controlling brake on the return journey to North Weald.

    That it has. North Weald Yard is looking particularly 'Western'.

    Should be a good weekend; I'll be floating about tomorrow.

    Should be attending Sunday. Didn't get that much running behind 4953 last year at the 10 Year Gala and not seen 9466 before, so looking forward to it.

    It was hot out there today but passenger loadings seemed fairly good. Five locos out tomorrow as star of the fleet Isabel will be doing shuttles into the forest with a DMU trailer and the shark brake van.

    Our first ever visit to the Epping Ongar Railway yesterday and we had a great day, the only problem really being the weather which was just too hot at times! We found a couple of lineside locations in the morning - which was a bit hit and miss not knowing the line or area, then took the train from Ongar to North Weald and spent the afternoon either watching the action or having a run to Epping Forest and back. The locos were certainly working hard up the gradients. Thanks as always to everyone involved in the event, my video (photos to follow)...

    Had an enjoyable day today, but as alts1985 says, the weather was a bit hot but can't blame the EOR for that! Spent the day in the 3 coach set and managed to get behind everything plenty of times, like on the MHR, 4079 sounded fantastic on the gradients, especially coming back from the line limit in the Forest.

    Still yet to go through all of mine, but one from Saturday afternoon of No. 9466 crossing Bridleway Bridge just after departing Ongar.
