    Have the loco allocations been finalised for next week? We're coming down from South Wales on Tuesday morning so would like to know what our options are.

    6023 & 7752. King out on the first set every day, pannier 2nd.

    75014 stopped for washout & 7827 slowly edging towards being serviceable after her motion failure a couple of weeks ago.

    We had a really good day down on the railway yesterday. Did a round trip behind 6023 and then a second with L94. Oddly the King ran with 6 and the little un' with 7. The noise level from the little un' was quite deafening from the front coach. Managed the climb to Churston in both directions really well. Fun listening to the regulator being closed to change setting on the climb.

    Yes, she should be running every day in September. At the very least Fri-Mondays in September, she may be stopped at short notice throughout the week for any maintenance requirements.

    Think the King is going to escape me - would have been nice to see it, but the charge down from the north east, is bit of a long way for it, for the weekend. Much as Id have liked to have seen it.
