    The train leaves Victoria. Steam Dreams confirmed this with passengers some time ago.

    Just to advise that we (Yeovil Railway Centre) may have a non-steam addition to our 20th Anniversary celebrations. Fingers crossed.

    Only just caught up with this and buseng, and I make no excuses for again taking you to task with your ill founded remarks.
    You owe Maureen some apologies, firstly for making the assumption that She was a He posing, for some unknown reason, as a member of the opposite sex... and secondly again making the wrong assumption that she worked for the railways in some capacity.
    Question is will you be man enough to admit you errors.

    People just don't know when to give up do they?

    Clearly the long term engineering work in the Reading area has also disturbed the well being and general good nature of some people living in the locality :)

    So in an attempt to bring the thread back on track can I ask that anyone visiting the Yeovil Steam Centre on Sunday gives Lord Fisher a friendly pat (see avatar). As a one time part owner, I have to say that it's great to see it in steam at its new home and clearly of immense use. This little Andrew Barclay is a powerful machine and it's hard to believe that there will be 100th birthday celebrations next year.

    Will answer here for info, if you mean by PM's, a session was started with a mod. There has been no response for several days despite requests for action to be taken & several posts reported.

    Last I heard, it was going to be either a 31 or 56.............................. and now for a "Brucie Bonus" you can add what ever comes in with the rail tour, 33,37 or 47..........

    Indeed it is! :)

    I had the pleasure of a couple of footplate rides on her a few weeks ago................... she certainly wants to be let loose once she gets going!! ;)
