Joyous times indeed!

Don't worry, It will happen one day.

More to follow

 

Some more cracking shots Graham!

 

Suberb shots.

Just makes you hope that things happen with certain other 8Fs that we are not supposed to talk about....

 

Well i know the patriot group want the front pony truck from one of them as they have the ones from the 8f that is becoming a county and need another to make it up.

 

Here are three more from this morning. I couldn't get down there this afternoon when the weather brightened up!

Superb photos! It looks like a trip over for the 8F and 37109 on Saturday is on the cards...

 

Looks like Peak Rail management are eyeing it up again!

 

No, They would have fixed bayonets !
To quote Cpl Jones "They don't like it up 'em Sir"

 

A couple of pictures of it running friday (21/05/2010) here - http://john-robinson.fotopic.net/c1851791.html

Apologies for the late notice, but I was in a meeting until very late last night. 8624 will NOT be in traffic on the ELR this weekend, due to problems experienced with the tender axleboxes yesterday - we are hoping to be able to get it back in traffic in time for midweek running next Wednesday. Apologies to anyone who had intended coming this weekend to travel behind it.

 

Gutted to hear that Andy,Im sorry she's let you down.
But,it's not that much of a surprise really,given the complete lack of running she's had,and time stood still.

 

Really sorry to hear that, but natpres has saved me a drive to Rawtenstall this pm!

Whilst I'm no expert in these matters is there no 'out of ticket' tender at Buckley Wells that would get it into traffic for tomorrow ?
