    Very welcome. I'm curious as to how you enticed a Long-Eared Owl into the cab of a Bulleid...:)

    It's a daily path, but has been amended for Thursday. I've seen it mentioned that it is meant to be for a test run for 60532.

    RTT normally shows both daily paths to and from Coton Hill as WTT. The hint here is both have been changed to VAR on Thursday which seems usual for LSL when the paths are used for a test.

    Normally the loaded test run is quite soon after the light engine test, does anyone have any idea when that's likely to be? I would imagine it will have the loaded test before it enters the paint shop.

    Full timings in the local Shrewsbury newspaper for this "unique" kids loco should ensure a busy lineside.

    Considering it’s the only one of its type left, what else would you use to describe it?
