    The one I'd like to see is the Horwich Crab 13065, but I'm not holding my breath.

    Least we are keeping people guessing with the last two guests….To Be Announced this week I believe….

    The small group of us writing the WTT/Booklet are meeting on Wednesday to check over what we feel should be the final version of the WTT, before it goes to the checkers/and SVR managment for approval….After that the booklet needs to be put together, and then we should have a gala (Fingers crossed!!).

    Goods Train is looking fairly set to consist of the 12/13 operational GWR wagons again, including 3 freshly painted ones since the Spring Event.

    That's a great line-up. Well worth prising myself out of bed at some early hour and driving up the M40/42 for!
    Haven't seen 44932 for a while - had a memorable mainline run with it from Waterloo to Bristol via Salisbury once,

    44932 is a coup! Presumably as part of the 45110 sale?

    Can't wait to see 51456 too, haven't seen her yet. Fantastic line up.
