    Well, here it is on RT: Realtime Trains
    Looks like one of WCRC loaded test run paths & is only run as needed, hence if it runs it won't be Galatea (in my opinion) as to our knowledge shes not yet done any LE test runs. That's not to say they won't sneak her in to the train.

    There is a 5Z51 in as a WTT path, and today, it was also entered as a VAR path, and Galatea has now been registered on TOPS as 98699. They don't normally do L/E test runs with steam locos, if they did it would be a class 0, so when they do test runs they pretty much always take a support coach with them for obvious reasons, which can only run as a class 5.

    No no no...
    we all know Ralph went in his micro light and all he found was an empty bachmann box a bunch old hornby mark2's and some second hand peco track.
    Its all a wind up... There is no Galatea, No Carnforth nor even a jolly chap from Hathersage.

    I'm not completely sure that you exist either. You might just be another figment of my creative imagination. Nurse! I think I need one of my special pills again ...

    I suppose after all this time its understandable that she would be nervous about venturing onto the big railway and scuttled back into the yard.

    Its ironic that we have all these snatched photo's taken from distance in the yard, but no one seems to have managed a snap when she ventured into public view, albeit briefly.

    Im supprised carnforth havent put down the 1st April as its test run. Then no one would believe them and galatea could go out unseen and even if someone said its coming no one would believe them because of the day. I would make for a good double bluff.

    The chuffing 'Maroon' loco has now moved out again, taken an attack of shyness and returned to the yard. We continue to live and wait in hope.

    Great minds Mr. Sheff, If Mr. Smith didn't wear incontinence knickers before he sure as hell will be needing them now, he must have wet himself repeatedly watching all this speculation. Top marks Mr. Smith sir, it's damn good free entertainment for old cynics.:thumb:

    Maybe it would have worked out better if it was a different colour?
