    Hoping to see it depart on Saturday morning before having to set off for a commitment up country. (SLS Meeting Kidderminster) Also note from Uk steam that the stock is coming down on Friday afternoon and going out on Sunday about lunch time. Unfortunately the BBC advance weather forecast doesn't look that good for photos other than Sunday for the ECS departure and for that Tangmere will be on the back.

    If Tangmere was leading, chimney first, at Reading, then they will have had to turn the train somewhere, because she needs to be on the back of the train, facing "up" by tomorrow morning. Maybe they pulled up beyond Reading West curve and reversed there? Or maybe the picture you saw was of Tangmere on the back of the train? Was there a headlight or a tail-light on the buffer beam?

    Interesting observation at Weymouth tonight. Went over shopping and saw they were watering up a short way down the Harbour Branch. Wonder when the last time was that a steam hauled train was on the branch?

    Away from Weymouth ok. Very quiet ascent of the bank though through Upwey. Suspect lots of diesel assistance to avoid slips as the rails will be damp

    Damn, I was just getting ready to get out and film, lord knows what the timings will be now, even if it will get up here t' smoke. Why the hell wasnt the growler on the back anyway, come on guys leaves fall about this time of year, the weather forecast said it would be wet, and you have light footed Tangmere up front. You wouldn't have bet money against this would you.

    keep up the progress reports guys....
