    I see 6024 is moving from Southall - Yeovil Thurs.2nd Feb. no times given yet. Looking at the Yeovil Steam Centre site they
    have an open day with 6024 running every 20 mins.
    Sounds good.

    Any news on 6024 this morning ???? I popped out to stand in the freeze for half hour, could well have been to late as 'guessing' but cold overtook me !!! Yes, I could have stayed longer when I was younger but not really knowing how long to wait, its a bit of a gamble. Should love to have seen her through Twyford in these temperatures and BRILLIANT sunshine. Oh well...........

    Thanks Ralph, It was only just a do 45305 was running nearly 70 minutes early and we only had the one tripod set up so I quickly had to set my tripod up to get the second shot. I think I got away with it just!!
