    At the IOWSR we are not running Saturday, it's 198 0n Sunday. Test run after winter maintenance for W24 on monday then if all is OK it is in service for the rest of the week.

    Thanks for this ..... if W24 is out to play next week, it would be most rude of me not to cross the Solent to say hello!

    At the K&ESR, the ROCK WITH THE TOTS Stage Show is on at Northiam. Trains will be hauled by two of the following: Pannier 1638, USA 65 or Austerity 23 with diesels on the other end presumably to avoid run-rounds on what is supposed to be a tight schedule to and from Tenterden. I have not been able to find the timetable but I suspect that trains will terminate at Northiam and not go on to Bodiam.

    Thanks for the info. Unfortunately my circumstances changed so that I was not free this weekend, but have 4 days off next weekend in lieu, so any info about the Easter weekend gratefully received!

    Do we know whether W24 will be out to play this week after today's test run? I do hope so!

    As I've got a few days off from Weds to Saturday, I'd be really grateful for a heads up of what's likely to be working at each of these terrific railways. Many thanks!

    I note that both railways have galas this coming weekend. Neither website boasts a loco roster. Any info about the locos we can expect to ride behind would be much appreciated! Thanks.

    It is the 1940s weekend at the IOWSR motive power should be Austerity 198 and W8 Freshwater. W24 which is having a boiler washout should take over from the Austerity on Tuesday.

    Thanks for the info. 1638 is one of my most wanted locos, I wonder whether it will be in use the rest of the week.

    Thanks, Brendan. I can't make Sunday, but if 1638 is out early next week, then I'll do my best to be there with a chum or three!

    I wonder whether anything Victorian will be out to play on the Isle of Wight over the next few days? Thanks for any help!
