    11 includes Kitchen and 1 POB (I suppose there could be 2, making 12). If they did add a diesel for ETH - please No! - with all that power at the front the diesel would not need to assist.

    I'm on this when I get the ticket which isn't yet. I presume that First comes first! Have to say that a MN is a bonus and an MN with a B1 (if it happens) is off the scale.

    So come on then, when was the last time a Merchant Navy double headed with a B1? Did Mayflower and Clan Line ever meet in the 70's and 80's?

    It'll be Mayflower's first appearance over the S&C, at least post 1968. Almost certainly the same will apply for Shap also?

    You would think with load eleven 35018 could push Mayflower all day long after her last few assaults on Shap ;)

    Will the train need lamps with 80 candles burning? ;)

    What a fantastic way to celebrate. Have a good day Victor. <BJ>
