    So what's left at OOC? Is it just the current shed, turntable etc has all now gone?

    From the mainline inwards, there is the 1990s Heathrow Express depot - I don't think that's involved in the event. Then there is the 3-road HST shed, which dates from HST introduction in the 1970s. Then there is the GWR-era carriage shed, which (I think) dates from the 1930s and is quite an "atmospheric" building - very much NOT a steam loco shed, but a "steam era carriage shed". There is then a group of sidings with the truncated remains of a shed.

    There are various other buildings, such as one built to support Class 180. Google Earth shows the CrossRail depot now extant on the site of the old loco depot - that has appeared since I last went to the Oak.

    There's a list of the requested loco's in the latest Steam Railway. 1501's very appropriate though.

    I can't see this comparing well with the last Old Oak spectacular, now that was an open day

    A pedant writes : the forthcoming open day will very likely be the last one, the previous one was not the last one. :)

    If it's within gauge in time, 5305LA are still having trouble trying to meet NR standards at the moment.

    Bloody hell, what have they been feeding it at the GCR? It has got bigger since it last ventured on to the ML....

    A bit of turning might be required then....
    I wonder whether they will bother as she only has a short time left on her ML ticket.

    Recently had some springs changed and other small adjustments are being made ready to get the engine back out onto the 'Big Railway'.
