I'm in M&4M 'box on Sunday

 

I'm on footplate sunday as well!

 

Don't let them "shoot" anyone for Heaven's sake. :smt003

 

Does anyone know which engines will be out for this?

 

Ill be down at Alresford station Sat and Sun

 

MHR loco roster says 5224 and 34007.

I will be down for this event on Saturday. I haven't been for a few years now but I am really looking forward to it. I will also try to come in appropriate clothing too.

 

Don't go by Tony Woods loco roster its wrong again. War on the Line weekend is a three train service.

Crew Rosters at Ropley probably, I know as well because I'm on the third service!

 

Ah, thanks for that. I guess 60019 will be on the third train or will 850 be back in action after her boiler assessment?

 

This will probably be the first year in many where they can have an all WW2 service. 60019 was built in 1938, 850 in 1929 and I think 5224 was built b4 WW2?

Maybe lay some bits of 73096 by the track to simulate bomb damage? ;-)

Love to get down there, a little too far sarf for me at the moment, lovely railway though, I`m certainly over due a trip

 

That sounds like a good idea im up for it
