KWVR Winter Steam Gala, 13th, 14th and 15th February 2009

Hi Guys,

Very early warning for this event as it is not to be missed!

First time the winter gala has been a 3 day one, Friday 13th, Saturday 14th and Sudnay 15th February 2009

CONFIRMED visiting engine BR Standard Class 7, Britannia 70013 Olive Cromwell.

Also another visitor should be announced when finilised!

 

What, JUST 70013? Thats a poor do. (Joke) =D>

 

Think I already said

70013 is confirmed as the other is not at the current time.

 

(deleted double post)

 

First the S160, now the Brit, the KWVR really do have good taste \/

 

Now that should be alright!
If we're going to start requests,it's about time 73129 got a blast at the bank,is it not? 8-[ =P~

 

Everytime we request 73129 we are turned down

 

How about a Manor [-o<

 

Bellerophon?

 

As far as I am aware the second loco has been asked about already.

But the chairman of our locomotive society is a fan of all things standard, (been caretaker of 75078) and has asked for 73129 before.

Hence my question about it on its thread.

 

Oh no! It looks like we're going to have yet another gala thread where any snippets of useful information (such as Kieran's original posting) get lost in a flood of waffle.

 

WOW :smt041 70013 on the Worth Valley. That is well worth a visit. Won't be doing what I did for the two steam galas I've attended this year and that's stay for the whole event but will defo have to make a day visit or two???

 

Great news about 70013. 73129 needs new tyres and I would say that it could be dodgy for it to run on a railway like the KWVR or the ELR due to the inclines at Keighley and Bury respectively. A tyre could move due to the heat generated by the heavy braking required on these inclines.

 

70013 is not a first, 70000 visited prev although not at a gala

 

I believe Scots Guardsman went straight from BR to Haworth so why not ask for SG to be at the gala? It would be appropriate that its first visit to a gala should be on the KWVR.

 

Because 6115 was only there as a loco it never hauled passenger train and it is far to heavy for the axel weight imposed up on us Indeed i dont think she ran under her own power if i recall

 

scotts guardsman has been requested by another preserved line already, the answer form steamtown was NO and never will be on a preserved line

 

Bellerophon was based at the kwvr for some time \/

Sorry, couldn't resist

 

now i would like to see bellorophon at the worth again but that is down to its owners the vct in bringing it back as they did with sir B

 

Hmm that's a point, it might not return if it went back up there... D'oh!
