    Any guesses on the load the T3 can handle up the 1/49 ? I was thinking 2 or 3 coaches.

    The teak set was rumoured to be load 4 for the gala.

    Any idea on the other rakes while we're at it? I'd argue on the moors the difference between load 5 and 7-8 can be as important as what's on the front in terms of entertainment!

    Two rakes of 7 and one rake of 5 currently in use by the looks of things, plus the 4 teaks. But the timetable requires 5 sets, so I'd guess at three sets of 6 plus 3/4 for the Whitby-Goathland shuttles.

    Is that with a full or part empty tender ? LOL :D. It will probably surprise us all. Looking forward to everything as usual.
