New Year & a new running season to look forward to so to kick this off what can we expect to see running (steam only please - no thread highjacking) on our various heritage lines in 2018?

SVR - last I heard the SMF were working to an October date for 13268 so that might squeeze in?

Patrick

 

ASG page says they hope for the Mogul to be ready by then. Be surprised if it was but would have thought it would be in with a shot before the end of the year. http://www.svr.co.uk/SEItem.aspx?a=100

 

Llangollen Railway.

3802 by Easter. Boiler has just had an out of frames steam test & is now ready to be re-fitted.

7754 Boiler work progressing. Hopefully some time this year for steaming.

45337 Boiler repair in hand. Steaming sometime this year.

2019 should also be interesting - Grange & Patriot !

5199? 6430?

 

I'd like to think so, But 2019 is more likely.

NYMR has seen 44806 doing its last runs before withdrawal, but next year should see the return of 5428 (in LMS livery) 825(in SR livery), 63395 (in BR black) and 65894 (also in BRblack, probably not on the NYMR for much of the season though) plus Lambton 29. The owners of Cockerill 0-4-0T "Lucie" have said it may take 18 months to finish, but they seem to be making vey rapid progress and I would not be surprised to see it finished sooner. They will join 76079, 80136, 926 and 61264 from this years active fleet.

 

I saw a facebook post about a new Austerity at Bodmin but can't find it now, does anyone know what it is?
