    As I am booked on this tour I am very concerned that if my steam train morphs into an EMU at some stage, will it still have a diesel on the back?

    That is my experience too Mike. There seems to be an assumption by some on here that you cannot have a good steam run if there is a diesel on the back and that is so untrue. Of course nothing is garunteed with or without a diesel but most steam...

    On the other hand, it may remain steam and get to 100mph - who knows!?;)

    Popped into Tenterden today for the food festival that was very nice and with sunshine to boot. Persuaded Mrs MM to have a ride on the train to Bodiam and back for which she agreed surprisingly. Didn't know the WW2 weekend was on but queued up...

    The running line is about 1400m long, a fraction under 0.9 miles. Including loops and sidings, the total amount of track is just over a mile.
