The Devonian - 4th June

So 70013 not available, now 70000 failed and not available (?). The load is 8 coaches (+pob I assume) so motive power options limited to class 8 locos (in theory). What options are available 6024??

 

Yep, believe Spud 1 booked to work this.

 

Spud 1? :twitch:

 

King Edward potatoes !!

 

Spud 1 is a nickname for 6024 King Edward I, (King Edward Potatoes).

 

If anyone is travelling behind Spud 1 and wants to earn a fiver, Please PM me,

 

Can you make it £89 for a full refund!

I don't want to travel behind that thing, it's like booking for a sex pistols concert and vera lynn turns up instead!

 

First post on here ???????? Possibly not the way to endear yourself to Great Western followers !!!!!!!!!

 

What's 6023, Spud 11? That's two ones (2), not eleven!

 

Two & a half years on the forum before the first post? A first post which will not go down too well-expect a few comments.

 

I think the post may of been light hearted?

 

Yes, it was supposed to be light hearted, i quite like vera lynn... sometimes!

 

Can you send some of that £89 my way please? I've just sprayed my cup of tea all over my keyboard!

 

How anyone named after a Bullied Rail Grinding device can have a go at a King defies belief *tongue firmley in cheek*

 

UKSteam.info confirms "Spud I" is the latest choice for Saturday's train. A very acceptable substitute for a trip to Plymouth, I'd say. Let's hope there are no further changes of plan. If she gets a sensible schedule, and she's in good health, I'm sure she'll put on a good show.

I just KNEW you'd follow this up, Jane !!!! Was waiting.

 

She can't resist. ;-)

 

and just to remind us all of the sound effect of a King at speed (sorry about wind noise) try. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVlexmFjnUc
