    RSH “Moorbarrow” will also be available so the event will have up to 4 engines depending on the completion of “Haulwen’s” overhaul.

    the event will provide the opportunity to double head two GWR locos - not seen in this parish for 37 years!

    regards

    Matt

    I am gutted as I won't be able to attend because I will be in Cardiff for the weekend for wales v england, But what a fantastic gala this sounds to be!

    What does the 6 for 60 stand for? Will there be 6 locos if the Ford makes a come back maybe?

    I hope its a very popular and successful event.

    Cheers,
    Tom

    I see there's a timetable and roster on the website, minus Haulwen - just checking to what extent that's a provisional roster to be amended on Haulwen being ready, or has it been effectively ruled out at this stage? Thanks

    Yes I am an active volunteer
    If you go on the webpage it lists the 6 highlights of the event - things like the return to traffic of Haulwen and one of their carriages, the last gala of 6430 before it bows out for overhaul etc.
