    This is great news - well done to all the guys and girls who have worked through what must have been frustrating times. I hope the King will make up for lost time in the second half of 2009. Hope she manages to visit Paddington before the year is out.

    I was at BL today and watched them go off then wondered with all the power available what would the two locos be able to pull weight wise.

    They made a wonderful noise going off

    A few of my photographs of 6024 KING EDWARD I working at the "Mini"-Gala yesterday on the West Somerset Railway, are now available for viewing on my fotopic site. I was lucky enough to be allowed onto her footplate for some cab photos \:D/ . Enjoy. Link; http://preservedrailwaylocomotivephotos ... topic.net/

    As for 34046 BRAUNTON, I was infomed at Williton that there is nothing wrong with her just that she is due a routine wash-through. =D> Any further information I was unable to get as I was on a leaving train, talking to one of the station staff. :-k

    Best regards SteamHawk216.
