    Looking forward to visiting tomorrow - can anyone tell me if 34070 is still facing Norden please?

    Many thanks,

    Does this help?

    Not sure it is in use tomorrow, though.

    Thanks for sharing these. Talk about whetting a boy's appetite, and the main course is yet to arrive in the form of the 40!

    Thanks Robin. The timetable says 34070 is out and about, but I'm not particularly fussed about what's on the steam diagram - 34070 would be my ideal loco tomorrow but the U, M7 or the Standard would do me fine.

    There was a grand finale to the open day at St. Philips Marsh today when a convoy of locomotives headed from SPM to Swanage for their diesel gala.

    The train consisted of 66.757 'West Somerset Rly', D213 'Andania', class 46 D182, 50.035 and class 31 D5580.

    Very nice train, very nice weather. <BJ>

    Apologies for the late notice, but it will be 80104 rather than Manston on tomorrow's steam diagram.

    Facing Swanage [edited -brain fart after a busy day!] I'm afraid; I will try to find time to turn it in the morning so that the double-header with D832 looks a little better, but with other things going on in the morning I can't guarantee it. The plan was very much to use 34070, but delivery of replacement parts arising from its recent washout was not possible in time to permit its use.

    No problem you can't help that, thanks for trying to make the double header with 832 look a little better too, what ever happens happens.
