    Yes, the WSR is using a rake of dual-braked stock this weekend for the benefit of air-brake only locos.

    Thanks to everyone who organised the event, enjoyed it thoroughly, first time for the mixed traction event.
    Low spots: failure of 56006 and 45060
    Hi Spots: increased use of 832 and 7017
    Good spots: cakes at Williton, Stogumber and Bishops stations, along with a good cup of tea!
    Wife says we can come back next year for another go!
