    The owners have been using Llangollen as their engineering/maintenance base.

    For those who have not read elsewhere 7822 is going to the NYMR for their Autumn Gala Friday 30th Sept - Sunday 2nd October. Be nice to see her up here as she is one of my favourite engines.

    Any idea how long she'll be staying NYMR, and what (if any) other services she'll operate?

    It's times like these i wish the Moors wasn't so far, putting a Manor on a 1 in 49 would be a must visit otherwise.

    Can she make a visit to Cheddleton/Cauldon Lowe on her way back ? ;)
