    Any guesses on the load the T3 can handle up the 1/49 ? I was thinking 2 or 3 coaches.

    The teak set was rumoured to be load 4 for the gala.

    Any idea on the other rakes while we're at it? I'd argue on the moors the difference between load 5 and 7-8 can be as important as what's on the front in terms of entertainment!

    Two rakes of 7 and one rake of 5 currently in use by the looks of things, plus the 4 teaks. But the timetable requires 5 sets, so I'd guess at three sets of 6 plus 3/4 for the Whitby-Goathland shuttles.

    Is that with a full or part empty tender ? LOL :D. It will probably surprise us all. Looking forward to everything as usual, hotel and rover tickets booked.

    "In the darkness, something is stirring.
    Steel groans.
    Steam rises.
    The feeling of immense power begins to build.
    Not fast. Not gentle.
    Just raw, mechanical force.
    This gala, the 9F will take on an identity from the age of heavy industry. A machine built to stand behind loaded trains and push them up one of Britain’s toughest gradients.

    Annual Steam Gala tickets available online.
