    Indeed bring your brasso; copper chimney caps and brass number plates as far as the eye can see!

    As ever we really do try and pull all the stops out with this, so definitely not one to be missed.

    Wasn't there a simular event that happened in 2017?
    I guess 'Workhorses' mean engines like mixed traffic, goods and tank engines.

    This theme interests me, although I don't know whether you mean GWR or BR[W]. :confused:

    3850 must be very likely to be added to that line up judging by the progress DMLL are making with it's reassembly.

    Back in the 1980's when much younger and more agile (!!) we used to know Brian the then owner of 6960 then based on the SVR. He used to have a full week driving in early July which coincided with my wife's school's mill holidays for two weeks, so as members he invited us down to footplate for a day. The deal was we booked on early and off late helping prepare and dispose of the engine. My wife's job was the copper and brass! She was really 'chuffed' when we were just about to leave Bridgnorth on the first train when an on-looking lady passenger commented on what a lovely job had been made of the said copper and brass. My wife was duly out again at the end of each trip with the metal polish soas not to let Brian down! Happy days.

    As P&O regularly worked to the West Country can't see why it can't be classed as a Western workhorse, don't need to gild the lily, serious bit of kit this machine as it stands ribbing apart.

    It was merely a comment without checking, not a statement of historical accuracy, I will amend my original missive, thank you for the correction.

    Nah, definitely Twerton tunnel, Bath. Fortunately, the route has not succumbed to the unsightly, over engineered OHLE catenary system ....yet. <BJ>
