    if the whhr pickering, that's very interesting, providing a new phase in whhr/fr co-operation. i believe that the vor van is currently being worked on quite extensively, so that'd have to be complete for g's farm services for this to happen. james apologies for no caps - one-hand typing!

    The plan is the Pickering Brake is only in the set from the end of April until the event in June. The new Ashbury van 2 will be used after that. I expect this train is supposed to run with a double engine if one is available.

    yes - understand. it'll make a very good addition to what is now a very nice pickering.jpg rake. however, my concern was with the effect of its absence on whhr services. the other whhr passenger brake is under restoration. years ago the four-wheeled coach was converted to become, if necessary, an emergency passenger brake - if that is still possible, that may be a solution. i am sure that all this has been carefully considered by both organisations - my original post was designed to congratulate fr and whhr on this further co-operation. james
