    Looking forward to it! Will be with my dad travelling from North Norfolk with our Duchess 6233 and rake of 5 coaches.

    Can I ask if we will be able to drop off on Friday night, if we can what will the latest time of arrival for us be?

    Steve, nice video. How long is a full circuit and I presume 6233 is 4 cylinder?
