50017 "Royal Oak" successfully completed four return trips of the Plym Valley Railway on Saturday, May 5th. The loco was rededicated and crested by Mr Kenneth Toop, survivor of the sinking of HMS Royal Oak in 1939.

The attached photo shows the loco sat at Marsh Mills station, work showing the start of the platform extension in the foreground.

50017 is running this weekend, However does anyone know of any up and coming runnings on preserved railways for other class members?

Should 50007 Sir Edward Elgar be renamed back to Hercules & repainted into Large Logo Blue?

I know this will offer different opinions.

Yes it should!!

[TimSYoung40145]

IMHO it doesn't really feel as important now for 50007 to be named Sir Edward Elgar than when it was operated by British Rail/Network SouthEast.

If you could choose where to have a pair of 50s to, where would it be & which pair of locos?

I don't think it would come as too much of a surprise for me to say 29 & 30 over Shap & Beattock.

Thats because you are just a little biased, cant think why!

Oh you "upset" somebody yeasterday by grabbing the 50017 label number 30 , somebody else wanted that one, but he did get number 29 instead .

Me personally, 50017 solo on 10 mark2Cs (dont want to push the genny too hard) on the same route as you.
I can hear it now, {drifts off into a dreamworld}

I am waiting to see how long it'll be before 50026 is out on the mainline.

Also, I wish that 50035 was put on the mainline.
