    Anyone able to help with information about what's working at either of these delightful railways over the next few days? While appreciating the vital role Austerities play, I'd rather visit on a day when they are being rested!

    Thanks for the info. Is Calbourne likely to be working Saturday and/or Sunday? Such a perfect match of loco and railway!

    I'm unexpectedly free to visit one (or both!) these delightful railways this week. Would appreciate any loco info up to and including next Sunday 14th August. Many thanks for any info. I promise I'll spend lots at your line!

    The main loco this week at IOWSR is W24, not to sure what the second engine will be on tue/wens/thur. W8 was on the second train this weekend so it is possible that it will continue to be used.

    Thanks, both. I really appreciate your help!

    I'm definitely heading to the Island mid week! I've not experienced W24 yet this year!

    Provided there's a Terrier, P, or that nice GWR tank at KESR, I'll head that way later in the week or at the weekend.

    Ah, thanks for the correction! You see, we have already reached the limit of my knowledge of all things GWR, BR (W), FGW etc etc. I do mean well!
