Great to see the old girl up and running roll on the torbays on the 16th aug-26th sept. =D> \/

 

This is great news - well done to all the guys and girls who have worked through what must have been frustrating times. I hope the King will make up for lost time in the second half of 2009. Hope she manages to visit Paddington before the year is out.

 

'Cathedrals Express' to Cardiff on 5th December would be a good one!

 

Well done to everyone on the Support crew who worked so hard to get her back where she belongs on the Torbays, I must say as good as it has been to see Tornado they just arent the same \/ \/ \/

 

Indeed it would!

Just looked at the SD site and 60019 is now shown as working the Cardiff trip on the booking page.

 

Oh well. Won't be doing that then!

 

West Somerset Superpower. 6024 has just piloted 2-8-0 3850 into Minehead on the 3-29pm service train arrival. 6024 now being coaled.

46118

Update: The 2-8-0 is now on shed, with the "King" on the 4-05 pm departure, loco facing smokebox to Bishops Lydeard.

 

I was at BL today and watched them go off then wondered with all the power available what would the two locos be able to pull weight wise.

They made a wonderful noise going off

 

His Majesty is waiting at Bishops Lydeard to take out the 10:25 to Minehead

By the sound of it, the good King Edward I had eaten too many beans today.

 

I had the pleasure of riding behind the King today at the WSR. \/ ....wonderful.
Unfortunately, no sign of Braunton. <BJ>

 

A few of my photographs of 6024 KING EDWARD I working at the "Mini"-Gala yesterday on the West Somerset Railway, are now available for viewing on my fotopic site. I was lucky enough to be allowed onto her footplate for some cab photos \/ . Enjoy. Link; http://preservedrailwaylocomotivephotos ... topic.net/

As for 34046 BRAUNTON, I was infomed at Williton that there is nothing wrong with her just that she is due a routine wash-through. =D> Any further information I was unable to get as I was on a leaving train, talking to one of the station staff. :-k
