    That narrows it down to an eejit residing in one of two other railway-related camps... Anyway, intend to attend the KWVR gala to spend all day behind 34092. Happiness personified, methinks!

    As for 34101, the chassis is substantially complete. As its halfway through an overhaul, I guess it all depends on the circumstances of the now previous owner's wishes. I only hope they don't put a chime whistle on it like they did last time.

    Anywhere north of Watford Gap is North for you Southerners! And yes they did work to Brum but they seemed to struggle a bit with Old Hill bonk.

    Ilfracombe - Mortehoe - Braunton was a bit more than a lump & bump, as was Exeter - Okehampton - Plymouth!

    I don't think the MHR will hire her just yet. The theme for the 2015 Spring Gala is not the Southern Region so I was told last weekend. Can't say too much yet but there might be a very interesting visitor to the MHR at the beginning of next year for running in before appearing at the Gala.
    34092 would be nice for the Autumn Gala though! How about a Bulleid fest for next October?

    Pleased to report that 007 seemed to be running well last night on the RAT, no repeats of the previous issues (at least that's how it seemed from behind the bar).

    Both seemed fine on the service trains yesterday - though Wadebridge did a lot of blowing off at Alton....... :eek:

    Impressed the guys I was working with - though I doubt others would be so!

    Did hear the other day they are looking at the last weekend in February. Which would be 27th Feb to 1st March. But this could always change. Best wait until the 2015 timetable is printed.
