    75069 has been unloaded at Kidderminster facing north - is it staying like this or being turned to face south (I know Harry mentioned about the turntable a few weeks ago) but just wanted to double-check for "movement reasons"

    Not been to the SVR for many years (having once being Birmingham based and it was a Spring gala that brough me back to the hobby) but will be there for three days, hotel booked in Arley of all places which seems like a lovely sleepy place to spend a weekend. Hoping for good weather for lots of trackside walks.

    No, work is on hold until after the gala for two reasons, a delay in obtaining the edging slabs and the need to have both platforms in use during the gala. It should restart straight after the gala and be complete by May 1st.

    Just wondering, if anything is likely to be on display at Kidderminster for this event?
