Lets hope it will make it for the gala. It would be nice to see the loco on a freight on the double track.

 

From a recent news entry on the Main Line Xtra webpage (viewable if you are a FoGCML Member) it looks like they are getting on well with 73156 and it should be in operation at the Goods Galore event. The connecting rods were refitted on 26th April, so presumably the rest of the motion is following accordingly.
Shame I'm not going to be able to get to the event this year as it promises to be even better than the 2017 one.............

 

Timetables now online!

Looking forward to the gala hoping to film 73156 as I possibly can especially doing freight turns and Cromwell on the windcutters?

 

No 9F or blossom?

 

Not this year I’m afraid..

 

92214 is in the list of steam locomotives and it does not seem 46521 is in the list.

 

No 92214 on the timetable ..

 

Or on the timetable.

 

92214 is the list of locos in the first post of this thread and it says 6 Locomotives in Steam including: 47406/48624/78018/92214/6990&70013.

 

At first the 9F was due to run, but this was before we were aware that 73156 would be ready hence why it was replaced

 

On the timetable/roster is stock D a passenger train? D doesn't appear to be listed. TIA

 

The D Set is the first class dining train so no passenger accommodation

 

Which of course is more relevant than the railways web page or the working timetable issued by the railway .
4am Saturday 12th someone thinks which should I light up 73156 per the roster or 92214 per photters forum ....?

 

Image shows 73156 in Steam this afternoon undergoing tests.

I was only point out what it said and light up a bit. It is not it is the end of the world or anything. I don't see how it is a problem that I pointed out a mistake by someone and surely making a big deal out is not going to help things.
