    Hardly Giants (except SAS) but it will be great to see 777 again. It was waiting for its turn on the Scarborough Spa's last time I saw it.

    It all depends how you would wish to interpret the phrase 'Giants Of Steam'. By physical size or other qualities.

    Also in SR mag. and what Richard Salmon wrote on the Bluebell e-mail group this week is that Roy Watts is still trying to negotiate for a second visiting loco for Giants. So I guess it's very much watch this space on the Bluebell website or e-mail group to see if negotiations have been successful in the next few weeks.

    Speaking in traffic effort termsonly, the E4 comes out to be more powerful then the 'Dukedog', so the Brighton tank could be seen as more of a Giant then the venerable looking 4-4-0. Although it depend on boiler steaming rates, etc, etc, for more blanced conclusion...
