    It’s already been gauged etc, don’t forget it hasn’t been in use throughout August, so there’s been a fair old bit of time to get things sorted for it.

    Having a post gala debrief with those at the top in the Western, massive well done to all those who made it happen, really has been hard work but bloody good fun.
    @Sidmouth, apologies if I came across a bit distracted earlier, was rather busy but likewise was nice to be able to put a face to the name, one day mate we will sit down and have a proper chinwag.

    Very happy to be back home and be amongst the people and things I value the most.
    Really good to have a play with my favourite Rebuilt Scot on my home patch.

    @Matt37401 no worries, I knew you were busy and absolutely for a chinwag another time

    An exceptional compilation of an exceptional event, many thanks to you and family Martin, and to everyone else who has posted content and recollections. But mostly all to all involved in organising, running or contributing in any way to what must be among the finest steam events ever on any line. I was really looking forward to it but illness precluded that.
