    Lovely. Thanks to all at MPD and elsewhere for all their work. The carriage rake looks good too.

    That video of 2999 has really got me excited. I've been behind her a couple of times at Didcot but it will be good to see her stretching her legs properly. 2999 up Eardington Bank will definitely be the highlight of the day for me.
    I'll be on train 2 on Saturday, in the open coach. 09:15 from Kidderminster.

    2999 due to face South (facing KR) due to be turned tomorrow.

    6960, 7714, 2857, 813 and 34027 all face North (facing BN)

    43106 faces South (facing KR)

    Obviously depends whether SVR want to turn anything else between now and then

    Think that stock behind 34027 is from Saphos not the SVR’s own. Have a feeling that’s from the tour with Braunton last October.

    A timetable for those intending to be on the trains would be useful too!

    Same here. I just look on the SVR website and just put down for departures for riding, not like what time does a particular loco departs at Kidderminster and Bridgnorth etc?
