    We're intending visiting the Bo'ness and Kinneil Railway next weekend, 25th May, does anyone know which engine is likely to be running?

    thanks!

    I believe it's the D49 next weekend; she's back on the roster this weekend and should run for the next few weeks. Best place to check is our facebook page as it's normally updated on the morning/Friday evening! I'll update the thread if there are any changes.

    (As always, locomotive subject to ability and any failures)

    Excellent news, thanks for the info' ! The D49 is one of my favourites, breakfast in the cafe followed by a run with Morayshire sounds good !!
