    Hi does anyone know how current/accurate the Mid Hants roster is on their website?

    I'm planning to visit Monday of next week, the roster shows SC and LN, can anyone advise if this is likely to be right??

    Thanks!!

    Well I last heard 850 had boiler problems, problematic welds I think, so I wouldn't think she would run but I may be wrong.

    Hi I was there last weekend and 850 & 34007 were both in steam. I keep hearing a rumor about the boiler on 850 on this forum and other forums but has far has I know there is no problem with her boiler. Why not phone before you make your trip to the MHR?

    850 ran quite beautifully yesterday, and as far as I know she (he?) should be running on Monday.
    However unforeseen circumstances can always come into play, especially with an engine that's 83 years old.

    I would guess 850 & 925, but as these are a guess based on what is in use currently and which locos are away I could be wrong!

    I'm sorry but I can only tell you what was in service last weekend.
    850 & 925 were used on the service trains and 92212 on the goods.
    70000 was awaiting some TLC on his/her wheels in the workshops. <BJ>

    While the other members of the home base fleet were away, 34007 and 31806 were at the West Somerset Gala ( the later now at Swanage for the Gala this weekend) and the Black 5 had not from the East Lancs?
