Nice, I was thinking of visiting on BH Monday anyway.

 

Noticed that yesterday looks good but just imagine if they could get t3 and beachy head 4 a weekend like this

 

The KWVR can run a pretty good vintage weekend with their own fleet - the locos involved date from 1887 (52044), 1888 (1054) and 1899 (85). The T3 , built in 1893 is younger than two of those (and only slightly old than the third and Beachy Head is very definitely a youngster, based on 1911 design (even ignoring the fact that it is only a couple of years old).

 

And also cost about £30K ...

 

Coal Tank 1054 removed from roster 41241 added, that's a shame, wonder why?

 

Apparently 1054 is visiting another line at the time

 

Becoming a non event now, only one of the original locos now appearing 52044, as 85 now withdrawn from event substituted by D9520, 41241 previously mentioned as substitute for 1054 away on another line

 

Event now of interest for me .

 

Now D9520 removed and 37075 added

 

On one day out of three ….

 

sorry yes
