Assuming 'The Bristolian' isn't running too late we'll hold the 1135 at Cholsey so 6430 will be able to exchange whistles with the 'King' Does anyone know if it is booked on the relief or main?

I'll find out this evening, but we might come up light engine to see the return trip through in the evening.

 

sorry not been able to post times as been busy cleaning coach and feeding the men and getting ready for the morning but times are now on uksteam .info if you are linesiding or on the run i hope you all have a great day;

all the best
jane

 

The King looked splendid in crystal clear light leaving Bath on time a full rake of Chocolate & Creams and the Bristolian headboard a real 50s/60s scene.

 

Heard leaving Swindon on time.

 

'Brizzletolian' Middle Hill tunnel 10:03. The clag ....well, that's what I call BLACK ...superb.
Train reported dep Swindon a few down at 10:48 due to late running HST.

Thanks to NC. <BJ>

 

At Pixash Lane just after Keynsham station.

?

 

well what can one say i was sorting dinner in surport coach kitchen and if there was ever a man in tune with the loco that man has got to be fred lewis from d.b.s. she purrs when she is in his hand's; even with black smoke that was coming out at swindon he and his footplate team soon had the smoke white coming out again and a good run was had into paddington; i am looking forward to the return run later;

 

The bridge at Pixash lane is where my interest in railways started in 1972 38 years later and still after the master shot
