    Correct Craig, 34072's visit in 1992 was the last from an un-rebuilt.
    With Regards to the WTT you will not be disappointed, Messrs Hitchman and co. have excelled themselves again with yet another masterpiece

    Looks like it is going to be a superb event.
    If a visitor was visiting on Friday evening / night and staying on the trains on Saturday as well would he need a one or two day rover ticket?
    Thanks

    Can't speak for the team, but in previous years a rover was valid nominally from 0000 to 2359, but generally accepted on the last train the previous evening and the first train the next morning too, so along the lines of 2200 Friday to 0200 Sunday for a Saturday rover.

    Looking at the info on SVR Online for last year's event:

    A day rover is valid from the first train to arrive at its destination during that day, even if it departed from the other end the night before.
    Similarly, it is valid up to and including the last train to depart during the day, even if it arrives at the other end the following day. Therefore both Friday and Saturday rover tickets are valid on the last train ex Kiddy on Friday night arriving at BN on Saturday, and the last train ex BN on Friday arriving at Kiddy on Saturday. Ditto Saturday to Sunday.

    That was last year - I assume that the same arrangements will probably apply this year?

    WTT arrived, but no tickets. Are these coming separately or has there been an error?

    Also what's going to be working 42968 duties?

    The full WTT should contain all loco diagrams and coach diagrams.

    My WTT & Ticket arrived together, might be worth ringing up if they don't arrive within a few days.

    My tickets have arrived, they just weren't forwarded onto me with the WTT. So got 3 full days to look forward to now :D

    Just a question though as I can't remember it all, what are the individual Sets ?

    Set L = LMS
    Set N = LNER
    Set C = Blood/Custard Mk1
    GW6 = GWR
    M6 = ?
    M2 = ?
    Set S = ?
    LocA = ?
    LocB = ?
    VV = Griddle

    M6 = 6 x maroon mk1
    M2 = 2 x maroon mk1
    S = Dining rake (GWR and mk1s IIRC)
    Loc A / B = I assume local rakes, somewhere around 2-4 mk1s?
