    They have said on Facebook that ASHINGTON No 5 is visiting. Hopefully, NEWSTEAD will also be working. Those are the two locos I’m interested in, but I guess the line up wll also include some, or all, of 80080, 6880, 42777, 90775 and the 2 Austerities.

    Thanks Malc, just so we can plan the weekend to a degree, 90775 big bruiser is a favourite of mine, like the smooth simplicity of the lines. Ashington 5 is certainly a vocal machine when driven right! No doubt the railway will add to the website shortly
