    Put a bin liner on the head light, simples!
    If a red 1501 causes apoplexy amongst the Swindon acolytes then bring it on I say. :)

    Due to a last moment change in availability of the planned visiting loco we are casting the net once more.

    If you own or have direct contact with a group who may be interested please put them in touch.

    Thanks in advance

    Darfield or Linda in their NCB Staffs area blue.

    The 'Barclay Beat Gala' with Fife Area Barclay no. 6 from Preston, just restored and/or CPC as was from Ludborough plus WST from the Bowes.

    Sir Gomer for something that looks good and sounds good or Henbury from Bristol Dock.

    A nice side tank (for a change) like Jennifer, currently at the Gwili, arrange thru Dave Owen at Llangollen. Why not add in Baxter from the Bluebell and you've got a nice old and new mix.

    Because I have to say it - Castle Donington? :) Could market it something along the lines of last steam survivors, that and Whiston.

    You may want to get your webmaster to check the special events page on the website. Just looked and it has repeated the Jubilee Weekend details for the July Gala weekend.

    I've been told that Dubsy is out again next Sunday (June 10th) - can anyone confirm this and whether it will be doing brake van rides again as I couldn't make it last time,

    Dubs will be out on 1/7/12, ( to be confirmed but looking ok ). The 10th June was a roster glitch.

    The good news is that Hawardens wheels may be back by then so she may have some work to do.
