    I was wondering which locos would be available this summer on the Moorsline .So here is my list of likely candidates :

    76079,45428,30926,825,63395,49395,53809,60007,45212,75029,6619.

    I am assuming 53809 will be based on the line for 2010 as well as 45212 but, I do not know how much time is left on 45212,s boiler. Also hopefully 44767 will be arriving from the GCR .
    Can anyone shed more light ? Bring on the Spring Gala .

    I saw 5224 at the MHR last June so she may still be there .

    Not much wrong with that list, James - only one I am not sure on for full year is 49395. 44767 is running elsewhere in 2010 and 45212's current boiler certificate doesn't cover the whole season. Visits from one or two regualr past guests are probably to be expected.

    6619 is still under repair - not sure when this is expected to be complete.

    75029 is having a boiler repair that will include gaining a new 10 year boiler ticket. This is unlikely to be complete by the start of the 2010 daily running season but should be done soon thereafter.

    A couple of guests are lined up for the Spring Steam Gala and a main star is currently being sought.

    5224 is still at Mid-Hants. 75029 is undergoing an intermediate overhaul and is unlikely to be in action this year reading the NYMR forum.

    Thanks Steven for the update on locos , I thought 45212,s ticket ran out this year . You may be interested to know that becoming a member of the NYMR was one of my New Year,s resolutions and a cheque went in the post today . Look forward to hearing which loco may visit for the Spring Gala.
