    I have no problems with you expressing your opinions. I was simply making the point that WCRC are a TOC, not a preserved railway, and are therefore going to supply stock painted in their own livery.

    If you think it's tasteless, you obviously don't remember the Pilkington stock.

    If anyone is interested, my 'Midford' layout is in the July edition of Railway Modeller that has just come out. Get some inspiration for the gala from that! I can't wait!

    Shame the Manor & Hall wont be used, although I suppose they don't quite fit in with the theme. Slightly against the theme but I would love to see an evening freight running to go with the early morning runs, just something a little different.

    We are told 6960, 9351, 7828 will run at the Gala. Also 88 (in blue). Guests now include 4936, 92203, 45379, 73129. Also understand further guest loco being sought.

    Seems the theme is being stretched a tad!

    Apparently 73129 is included in the list of booked locos according to the WSR Plc's staff newsletter.

    Impossible to answer your last question :)
