    We do! There is a King Arthur here at the moment - just incase anyone was looking for Sir Lamiel!

    I think you should hook it up to a spare GWR tender just for a laugh, seeing as her tender is still in the shed at Loughborough

    Celebrated the old chaps 70th today with premier dining on the Shakepsear Express. First class service and a great round trip. Very reccomended and commended, even the kids were well behaved. Perfect day. The old chap didn't even mind the maroon monster instead of a copper capped machine. Thanks to all involved.

    Andy.

    I guess 4965 is on the roster for this coming Sunday?

    Will 5043 be getting a turn on the Shakespeares at some point this year?

    Sounds like 4965 is getting some welly in the final run, just heard her pulling away from Tyseley while at Home in Hall Green!

    No pics from me today, been watching the British Grand Prix, plenty of chances to catch Rood Ashton mind.
