just been to Parkstone to see them down, what a line up!
Too confirm aswell all locos as stated will be down for the event and just incase there was anyone else caught by Stephans rather mean joke, D1015 is with the lot it, did pass its rail exam and was able to go down mainline. Im going to hit you so hard when we next meet...

ROFL ur just gullalbe!
Shouldnt that be Gullable?
Anyhow...
Fantastic site through Poole 73208 leading 47635 3417 D1015 73136 on the rear. Nice mixture of colours. Big up to the guys at Swanage Railway and Network Rail for making this happen. Lets hope we see some services from Swanage to the national rail network next.
Pics on the site and you tube soon.
Cheers

73136 was leading with 208 on the rear!

£4 max ?
Nope both wrong.
Currently uploading the vid on to my You Tube account.
Carry on guessing.
Tony.
Also Bear in mind of you are coming from Bournemouth or Weymouth direction the line on Sunday is CLOSED between Poole & Wool.

Adult Return, around £5, I pay child around 3.
Ok I will put you out of your misery.
The odd one out was D1015 Western Champion.
Although some correctly said D1015 they didnt give the answer I was looking for. the answer is that The 47, 4Vep and 2 ED's all have the British Rail Double Arrow symbol yet the western only has the old British Railways crest. Quite Ironic really. That with in the modern day of Private ownership and all the different TOC's and logos the BR double arrow still stands out, even though when in my Day ( OMG ) It was BR. Loads of people hated the corporate Blue Image......
Is it just me or do people like the occasional Retro fad?

Was an excellent event, i hung around at corfe and norden for the event. Vid and pics later at some stage...
Tom, Stephen, James, and Jim are still at swanage after me having to spend the day alone. I want to get to the bottom to know if they purposly stitched me up, the whole D1015 failing its exam and therefore couldnt make it down the convoy was a joke that i (after some time) accepted.
The fact that Tom was holding a finger over his lips occasionally while i was on the VEP and they in a MK1 opposite me doesnt mean i couldnt see them and when i ask them "is the railtour still going ahead?" everyone but James says "yes".
If this was a joke im hoping that others would agree with me that it was harsh because while they are still out at swanage im at home now doing nothing.
