    Isn't that path there each day? If its to be used it gets activated about 8am on the day in question. Not saying it won't be activated on the 16th mind.

    The Notwork Rail STN isued 03/10/14 advises that the loco will be 45690, but, given its plans for this coming Saturday, one must suppose that 46233 needs to be run-in on a more urgent basis. Who knows, indeed!

    The word now seems to be that 46233 may do a test-run tomorrow (Friday).

    Very nice, Shep, though since I'm not a dyed-in-the-wool LMS enthusiast, I had to look twice to realise it's a Jube' not a Black 5. How did she sound? Nice and even 6-beats-to-the-bar?
