That looks like an interesting day out in prospect!

 

Visiting Engine is Puffing Billy from the Beamish Open Air Museum, Durham.
Will look ruddy good with the chaldrons at Bowes.

 

Will Puffy Billy be working passenger trains at Bowes?

What other loco(s) will be working?

 

no, she wouldnt make it up the bank, lol
shes working in the yard on Demos

 

Other locos, I assume WST and No.22? (Pair of Andrew Barclays)

 

aye, they'll be both out

 

Thoroughly enjoyed our visit this afternoon.

Wish I had got there earlier now.

Seemed busy.

Great to get round all the workshop areas and to see the traction engines on display.

Even managed a ride behind 22 and WST on the last train of the day.

Hope it was a success and that the "word on the street" that it could of been the last ever day was incorrect.

Best Regards

 

Really enjoyed my visit on the 15th.
Finally got a few pics on my website for people to see.
