    Saw her last weekend at the SVR on the freight... looked amazing. Hoping to go and see her at the KESR between the Christmas / New Year break.

    I assume 813 is not one of the two Santa loco's maybe the banker from Rolvendon to Tenterden as has been done some years.
    The USA tank is one and if it is not 813 anyone know what the other one likely to be as it is a long drive from Swanage.

    The second loco should be the Pannier. 813 is mainly being used as steam heat engine for the Pullman, and then on the evening Pullman itself. It can also act as standby to take over, should one of the other two encounter a problem. The Norwegian is currently being kept "spare".

    813 will be steamed between Boxing Day - News Years day with the Vintage train from what I have been told.

    If anyone out there in Nat Pres Land has any photographs of 813 on the KESR would they email them to me at


    gwr 813 at g mail dot com.

    Thank you

    I believe that is the intention, and I think that the USA tank is due to be on the A set (subject to availability.)

    At present 813 is booked to work public trains on Saturday 30th and Monday 1st only. These will be the 10.40 and 13.15 departures from Tenterden and will be formed of a 4 car set featuring both our Maunsell carriages (one of which has only just returned to service).

    Is there a reason she isn't out on the 31st too? Unfortunately that's the only day I'm free, was hoping to come and see her then. Do you know what will be out in her place?

    On the 31st it was due to work the Pullman. When I left work yesterday we were in the process of swapping it over so that 1638 would work the Pullman (and the corresponding steam heat turn) and that 813 would be available to run the service. Watch this space...

    Right, I have just logged in and checked my work email and can now confirm that 813 will work the 10.40 and 13.15 departures on all three days of the Crimbo Limbo event.

    If anyone is around on Saturday feel free to ask for me as I will be on duty somewhere. I hope you enjoy your visits!
