The lack of manual labour for the fireman would be a huge advantage, and to a lesser extent not having the fire hole doors open too. I guess the rest comes down to insulation and ventilation.

Surprised to see that Steve. I take my hat off to any crews working in this weather.

LMS2968 liked GWR4707's post in the thread Bahamas.
Is there a reason its being placed in the frames rather than in a more accessible location, the pump on 46100 is behind the smoke deflector IIRC and so accessible but it seems odd (no doubt there is a perfectly valid and sensible reason) to place...

I am told that on some lines there are 'watering instructions' so all loco's can get water and there is no issue over water tanks being emptied

Three steam out today (23rd) with 2253, 44806 and 92134 doing the honours. 37264 & 37688 also out and about. At least, that's the plan!

The theming was new for this year, but they have used this slot for a gala for a few years now (often tying in with an anniversary).

I gather this is a new event. Are there any plans for a repeat in 2027?
