    With Clun out and the Earl being managed for tyre wear, I wonder how Vintage will organise next year's programme. Does it imply Tornado will play quite a big role?

    Will they be able to get some use of 71000, I assume there is a pretty good relationship there as they overhauled her at Tyseley?

    Plus what is the state of play with the Hall?

    OK thanks, that's good, so maybe Tornado will be fulfilling the role Bahamas played this year.

    I think was rather than is fits there. I get the impression that bridge has been well and truly burnt with the unexpected LSL deal.

    i would suggest it is more professional that some may think but equally i think the deal is with lsl now and the loco is tied to lsl rather than a roving agent

    The Hall is ready for a boiler lift but awaits time and funds. Monies previously allocated to the Hall's retune were used to fit CDL. Donations welcome
