    I see the 60007 group have just published that Gresley will be on the front for this Saturdays tour to Kingswear, does anyone know if the diesel will be tucked in behind the loco?

    I thought the fire risk was black down south, i.e. no steam at all.

    Well, it was Saphos :). 12 coaches, fully booked.

    A nice touch today was the fact that 1960s built loco D400 hauled the train from Westbury to Taunton and, I presume, from Taunton to Westbury. <BJ>
