SVR Autumn Steam Gala 20th-23rd September 2018

Sounds positive! Cheers.

 

Hopefully the WTT will be available to those who have brought it soon. I've been send a TTI turn which is based on the WTT version of the timetable.

 

Ooh that's a good point, I better order mine!

 

WTTs sent to the printers.

 

The "add to basket" or "click to book tickets" button doesn't appear if the WTT is included when booking online at the moment...

Interesting to see the updates on the Q6. Going into the final straight now

70000 has arrived prior to testing.

 

Anyone know the chances of 63395 making the gala? This was it at Grosmont this morning

 

I don't think she will make it, it could be the same for the duchess as well?

 

Q6 was weighed in the last few days. The q6 blog on the nelpg site suggests a proper steam up next week

Permission for lip to wobble, sir?

 

permission granted lol

 

Sorry about that I'm a big Blackadder fan lol

 

Some whisperings of 80136 as back up for the Q6 if it can't make it. Nothing official as of yet.

 

5428 I think would be a bigger draw as I don't think it has visited away from the nymr since its move from Tyseley in the early 70s

Correct - and Eric's new pre-war LMS livery would look good on the SVR's LMS set, assuming that the Duchess could be prised off them, of course! As far as I can think, 5428 is the only Black Five in LMS pre-War livery and the first time one has carried this since 5305 was repainted into BR colours.

Would also bring a black 5 back into the mix after 45231 was replaced by 46100

 

Taken 3/8/18

 

It is a stunningly good look and although I am biased a locomotive which is in fine fettle
