    Very best wishes for a successful test and grateful thanks for an informative post.
    James, would you be willing to give a status report on the rest of the wcr steam fleet please? Saves a ton of supposition, amusing to you that no doubt is!

    Thank you James. Would have posted earlier but power and broadband don't like very high winds and heavy rain!! Looking forward to Saturday if we can get to Crewe!!!

    Great news, thanks for the update. Any chance of repairing the PA system in some of your rolling stock sometime ? The subject is often raised on here, most recently in relation to last Saturday's WCME.

    You don't understand. This is all to ensure that Les Fishburn maintains his exercise regime on the trains. He would be a 16 stone liability in the corridors otherwise..;)

    I trust no one will make the mistake of bringing John Smiths as emergency supplies this time.
