    Even though it's fairly easy to get that S15 working hard up a hill at its home line, the thought of it from a standing start off River Frome with a dead loco on the back too is very tempting... which makes that weekend quite a dilemma as I've got family priorities that I want to factor in too and need to work some of it, but also want to definitely do the Blaenavon gala (it's always so good) and Dean Forest diesel gala (a 50 and a Deltic in the forest???!!) already, am now tempted by this, AND it's the weekend when Buckfastleigh workshops are open for a poke around too and I try to do that every year... Classic September gala season puzzles!
