    "Looking on another thread I read 92212 will be working the dining train."

    Thanks for the info. I have also just found it in the Bluebell thread. She has a got a fair old load on too tonight. With the current weather though we could do with the U-boat!

    Might be...not sure what pulled the service this evening, but there was a diesel on the back! I'm working first thing and then again in the evening on Sunday but if 92212 is out, then a tripto Chawton Woods might be in order,provided the weather isn't as miserable as today!

    Last night it was 31806 and one of the Class 37's top and tailing on the Dining train. The first run up was basically the Diesel shoving the U up the bank with no sound coming from the U. Second run up saw the U putting in some effort but she slipped a few times. 92212 was standing in the yard cold.

    No diesels on the last round trips yesterday. Nice to see the sun make appearance on Sunday.

    Lovely shot of 850.

    I bet the diesels were back on today though. Appalling conditions.

    That would explain a lot of diesel pushing on the Dining Train on Saturday. Hope she is not out for too long.
    I wonder what will be on the Christmas leave trains? 850 and the 9F perhaps? 925 looks like she been prepped for storage over the winter.

    What do you think Lee? Lol!

    So it looks like 92212 "should" feature 26/27th - I hope so as I've missed the beast, and it would be nice to get a run behind her on the 26th!

    Also it looks like Wadebridge must have gone off to the CVR already as she was absent from the yard on Sunday, and I doubt she was in the wheel drop.as that appears to be full of Swanage and one of the std 4's.......

    34007 was tucked up inside the wheel-drop shed on Saturday night as she could be seen through the windows when passing on the Dining Train.

    Hopefully 92212 will be in use for Christmas leave. I have missed her too.

    Cheers for that Green Five!

    So there's obviously been some "musical Loco's" going on...................... I thought it a bit strange that she would've gone to the CVR so early!

    Confirm that Wadebridge 34007 was tucked up just inside the wheel drop shed on Sunday (over the wheel drop), with the front end Pig 76017 sandwiched between Wadebridge and Winston Churchill (Front end)
