Thanks to the MHR folks for putting on a great event, I went on Saturday and everything ran pretty smoothly even with the issues with 68067. FR 20 was a real highlight for me, so much so that I changed my plans a couple of times to get an extra...

68067 had two firebars removed before being put out again yesterday. The driver told me it was now steaming a lot better. As it obviously couldn't be tested it still wasn't entrusted with the three coach rake on its own. The fireman also told...

Can only echo what others have dais, spent Friday and yesterday at the gala and was a superb experience. Absolutely adore no. 20, she's enough to melt my cold pre-grouping heart. Some photos from the event, more can be found at...

Beautiful day down in Hampshire today. The countryside really does look glorious when the sun comes out! Gala went went well today - everything ran almost to time and the locos all seemed to behave themselves! It was obviously the right move...

Things are going well today even though 68067 was apparently playing up again this morning when we arrived. She was taken off her service with 41312 and put in the yard again while the class 20 hauled her train to Alton. She returned to her...
