    I'd settle for the Caprotti 5MT.... would also like to see the Super D back in hopefully sunny weather this time and also the 4F.... If 88 is going into BR Black in time then it would be awesome to have 809 paired with it the whole weekend :)

    We can dream!

    A max of 4 or 5 guests with only the one being something big like 6201, 71000 etc. Its annoying when a line up is mostly made up of class 7 or 8 locos. Also for 88 and 4160 to be rested a little bit as they seem to do most of the work at each gala! 5553 to be used on full line trains at some point over Saturday/Sunday as it will be her final gala.

    I'd quite like to see 7827 at the WSR.

    I'd like to see 9466 too. It would be nice to see banking making a return, first trip or two out of Lydeard on a Saturday/Sunday?

    The Dukedog, T9, the Didcot mogul, the N from the MHR and an unrebuilt light pacific plus the home fleet. If I could extend the scope a little or a lot, the Southern stock from the Bluebell and the GW train from the SVR. Plus a few additional wagons/vans because the WSR freight fleet is a little light

    Regards

    I don't understand why the Foster Yeoman plank wagon next to the turntable isn't used in the goods set during galas. It looks cracking, why not use it? Is it not operational?

    Dunno, they could have a far better goods train if they got their act together.

    With all those Bulleids it'd be pretty easy to sleep on the train :)

    Having a go at the WSR for a Western bias is like having a go at the ELR for having a Black 5...

    A brilliant idea!

    In 2014 ish it should be possible to have a gala with potentially 6 of the above in working order - so this might not be too far into the realms of fantasy.
