    Who are you referring too? If it's me, I'm sorry for suggesting locos to attend a mixed traction gala that possibly could work on the WSR in future. Thought it was the whole point in have a discussion forum!

    You tar a lot of people with your brush, probably for the best you aren't in charge of the gala lineup.

    Two more 68s passed Norton Fitzwarren this morning at 08:51 on a Swindon to Par charter. The train is due to return through NF this evening at 19:31.

    Impressive at speed. Not so at 25mph. <BJ>
