    No. It's covered up & packed away while the shed floor is being concreted.

    Why wouldn't you want a tender with axleboxes from the loco in the great train robbery (I think?)

    You've won me over now plus I think your one holds its water better than ours.

    Coz they're from a diseasel........ and we like a two tone Wadebridge.

    Hope you guys have a successful weekend, but as said 34007 nor 34092 don't "do it" for me, so I'll most likely be heading for the BB and the Q class this Sunday - its much closer to home.

    There's a picture on Facebook appearing to show 34007 facing Toddington.

    And on the Bulleids thread too. Should make for some pleasing shots when the spamcans pass P&O at Winchcombe.

    Are the spam cans facing the same way as each other?

    Yep. All southern locos facing north, all others facing south, but not sure about Raveningham. Looking at any double headers might give a clue, haven't got one to hand.

    After studying the timetable I did think it odd that Raveningham Hall had been rostered to run double-headed
    twice during the day but on both occasions would run ass backwards to the other loco. <BJ>

    So looks like 6960 will be facing South as well then. So all Southern locos facing North and all Great Western locos facing South, nice and easy.

    Just had a look at the weather forecast for the weekend, looks like Saturday is the best day to attend, with sun and sunny spells. Sunday looks to be pretty horrible although might brighten up by late afternoon, and Monday is just cloudy at the moment.

    Oh! So all of 6960's double headers will be either chimney to chimney or tender to tender...

    Just spotted P&O's arrived at Winchcombe, and nothing noticeable like a wheel has fallen off, so a good start. :)
