    I quite agree, the lipped version looks much nicer.

    I would be surprised if it didn’t have that effect on everyone. She look’s stunning!

    Is there a reason for the duplicate set of gauges on the tender?

    You on about the brake gauges. There only there to make running tender first easyer on the driver, 6233 has the same thing.

    There is also the tender water level there as a proper gauge rather than the pipe with holes in.

    Any news of a naming ceremony?

    I presume it will be before the first trains at the end of the month, but I've heard nothing yet.

    Sounds like quite a line up.

    From www.wsr.org.uk

    "The organising group for the Spring Gala has announced today that, subject to availability, the following locomotives will be working during the event. LNER A1 no 60163 Tornado (this loco will appear at the first weekend 21 and 22 March 2009 only); LNER A4 no 60019 Bittern; LMS no 46100 Royal Scot; GWR 4-6-0 no 6024 King Edward I; SR 4-6-2 no 34046 Braunton; SDJR 7F 2-8-0 no 88; GWR 0-6-2T no 6695; GWR 2-8-0 no 3850; GWR 2-6-2T no 5553; WSR 2-6-0 no 9351. Negotiations are on-going with the owners of a further two or three visiting engines representing the "Big Four". The organising group hopes that this mouth watering line up of engines will get the West Somerset Railway's 2009 season off to a flyer. The leaflet should be available within the next two to three weeks but those who wish to book in advance can do so by downloading the Booking Form or contacting 01643 704996 between 9am and 5pm seven days a week."

    Nice rumour, and sounds plausible! What's your source? Not saying you're wrong, just wondering how reliable a witness you are... ;-)
