    Hello All,

    Seeking information, please, if anyone can help. "The Devon & Cornwall Explorer" railtour with CompassTours which is due into Plymouth Station at approx. 11:45hrs this Saturday is advertised to be hauled by two Class 47's provided by Riviera Trains on the Diesel Hauled Railtours 2009 site link: http://www.railtourinfo.co.uk/diesel.html but on the Compass Tours site it reads as being hauled by one locomotive.

    I emailed Riviera Trains this morning for info but email returned as not delivered. ](*,) I just would love to know in advance if anyone knows locomotive/s due to be involved. I know I am mainly a kettle lover :smt055 but I have soft spots for some diesels and I would love it to be either one or both of the Two Tone Green locos, ie: 47812 (with the yellow cabs) and 47813 Great Western. If it is I might even give my Pork Pie Hat its first airing since the Sixties, Up the Mods. :smt003

    Thanks in advance for any infomation. Best regards SteamHawk216.

    Thank you BillR, much appreciated. \:D/
    I just tried to email Riviera Trains again, email returned as before, with address not recognised. Strange #-o

    Regards SteamHawk216.
