    I almost find hard to beleive, looking at the line up this is the best steam event for years at Butterley, if it was true!

    53809,16410,47357,88,44422,47493,6100,46115.

    Should be shouting this from the roof tops, not oh by the way. I am just hoping we get two good days this weekend as Barrow hill is also on and not 30 miles away (and 5 miles from me).

    Sorry chaps, couldn't resist it! :)

    Few little jokes in there - such as 16410 and 47327 running at the event. Bit difficult as they're both the same engine! :p
