    If it manages the Bluebell gradients fine as well as the Mid Hants last year then it will be able to do Keighley

    Its normal load limit at the Bluebell is 85 tons tare on a 1 in 55 gradient - it took three bogie carriages (somewhere over 90 tons) from a stand on that gradient as part of its commissioning. So providing loads are realistically chosen, I can't see an issue.

    Since 'Fenchurch' has been announced as the special guest, is anyone else hoping some of their vintage coaches are coming out to play as well?

    Only fitting.

    I don't think we need to "hope" for that - I think we can safely make that assumption.

    Well yes, but, I mean things like the Dreadnoughts, not the LYR's.
    Maybe not have been a London engine but it would still look nice with them.

    The terriers were absolutely London engines, originally designed to work the South London line. The home shed for them was New Cross, where there was a little octagonal “rooter shed” round house they lived in. (With 15 stabling tracks around a tiny turntable, plus an in / out road). That covers the first 26 years of the loco’s life, after which Fenchurch was sold to the Newhaven Harbour Co.
