    Looks like 1062 is heading to the WSR for the mixed traffic weekend. loco shall be leaving on wednesday by rail, being towed to the WSR by a 66 but heard a rumor yesterday that it might be 1015 Western Champion towing 1062 as they are both going to the event.

    There appears to be an update to the timings from Nigel Hopkins.

    Kidd. SVR dep 13:15
    Kidderminster 13:23-13:30
    Worcester Yard 13:54-15:31

    The timings afterwards run within a gnat's whisker of the original times.

    ....don't shoot the messenger. <BJ>

    D1062 seen departing the SVR at Kidderminster on it's way to the WSR gala. I intended to film it again after the booked 1:30 stop in Worcester yard. However I later found out that they left Worcester 75 minutes early - so missed it.
    Not much thrash, but a record of the event anyway.
    Enjoy.

    Whilst waiting for D1062 I filmed a few 66's, just in the hope they may have an hydraulic attached!

    I managed to get out and film the return to the SVR today.
    I seem to have a "calming" effect on mainline moves, everything was being brought to a stop outside Cheltenham, including this move!
    Well it made all the photters happy :)

    Anyway video is at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_024X1U5n0&fmt=18
