46100 announced as visiting. 45231 will no longer be coming.

 

Whey hey, that's a result for me! Although I like Black 5s a Scot is 'one up' (for me anyway!) and, although 46100 attended a couple of years ago you can never have too much of this loco in my humble opinion!

 

Suits me!

 

A very popular locomotive has arrived back on the SVR........in a manor of speaking......GWR 813.

 

From SVR Website - "One more visiting locomotive will be announced shortly! Here's a clue; the engine is green and has a 7 in its number..."

Britannia and Cromwell have a 7 in their numbers. So does 4270/4277. Any other guesses?

 

You can rule out Cromwell as it is at Shildon that weekend.

 

1744?
1700 (Wissington)

 

We may be here some time at this rate! I vote for Clun though.

 

I was quite excited at the thought of a Brit, but a Castle

 

"One more visiting locomotive will be announced shortly! Here's a clue; the engine is green and has a 7 in its number..."

Possibilities:
2807
7029 Clun Castle
4270
5637
7903 Foremarke Hall
847
8572
1744
70000 Britannia
1700 Wissington

 

As the current GWSR roster stands 7903 appears to be ruled out. Much as I'm normally against home locos visiting galas I'm going to I must admit Foremarke at the Valley would be good though!

 

For me it will be either 70000, 4270 or 7029?

 

70000 and 4270 have both been fairly recent visitors but then again so has 6100.

 

Do we know for sure that 70000 will be ready in time for the event..?

 

I don't know Adam. Nice to see if 70000 visit the NYMR sometime?

 

Who says it has to be standard gauge? Owain Glyndwr from Aberystwyth perhaps?!
