Will the excursion day 22nd April be different if the Jacobite hasn't commenced by that stage? Or would the GB stock be used in any case?

Guessing 34028 will lay over at 10A from Chester day 2 and maybe take the train back to London from Newcastle on 25th April?

The giveaway is that 52044 still has her Barton-Wright smokebox door, rather than the Hughes one fitted a few years ago. Personally, I think the old one looked far better, but maybe that's just me...!

Nobody is questioning the need for steam heat only the apparent economics of steaming a loco just for that function, plus type 1 as traction, vs steaming a larger loco as the traction. You'll be intimate with the financials though, so we take...

Here is a picture of two of the gala stars that could have been taken today, but instead of being dated 22nd March 2026 the date is in fact the spring gala on 22nd March 1975 [ATTACH] Peter

True. On the other hand, if 7802 was used the Class 20 which dragged 1450 around would have been superfluous I daresay, thus reducing the overall expenditure to within the margins of Manor vs 14xx hire fee. Maybe there isn't a hire fee for 1450,...

Doesn't 1450 incur a hire fee if it is steamed and accumulates mileage?

If this is the case then this really is all about one man's ego rather than any economic argument. Why would you not run the service if you have now made the investment to run in a profitable and compliant fashion?? Surely you want to make that...

It really is quite simple. If you want to remain part of the club, you have to abide by the rules of the club (which all of the other club members have done). If you don't, you are no longer a member of the club. I find all this moaning about...
