    There will be the regular "Boscastle Guided Shed Tours" over the Gala weekend from 10.30am to 3.30pm. Just turn up near the shed. There is no charge, but a donation towards the overhaul of Boscastle is appreciated.

    What is 92134 doing for a tender when at Loughborough (and Chinnor for that matter) given that it borrowed 92240's tender at the Bluebell?

    I understand 48305 has returned to Loughborough today following a year out of traffic for firebox repairs. So looking promising it will be ready for the Gala.
