    4464 is looking the best I've ever seen it, the stock is a full set of blood and custard, photographers are in for a feast today.

    Would love to be there to see it leave the X - fingers crossed that Bittern is in fine fettle - have a great trip to those that are on it and enjoy the thrill of being whisked along at 90mph. This is what its all about - the love of Steam.

    Load 10, no sign of the class 90 referred to, ecs was brought in by a class 66. Notice we have 2 support coaches , a1st's 21269 is also coming for the ride. No 2nd tender though, so water stops it is.

    Good luck for the flight of Bittern........even if she is severely lacking in copper and brass.;)
    It's days like today that make me feel extra proud to be part of our movement.
