i quite like the smell of a steam engine......for the moment anyway o_O:lol: im sure theres a joke about a brown 5 (black 5) in there somewhere :lol:

currently running 53 early but its not yet stopped at eastleigh so will have to wait and see what time it leaves there 1653420753 few photos i took of it, ended up being on time as it stopped at totton yard area for quite a whilst

according to the railway herald it was an lsl private charter which i diddnt know about or would have photographed https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:U68274/2022-05-24/detailed#allox_id=0 but there is something going from Burton Ot Wetmore Sidings to swanage later this evening...

that would have been a sight to see all that lot but same as western sunset said, a tad early :lol:

yes did see the first one hasnt been activated yet for some reason, hope its not like last time where i miss it again if re scheduled :lol: 1652099867 pics of the run, only 1 73 though

seems theres 2 runs on monday now plus the early one tuesday https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:R00755/2022-05-09/detailed https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:37138/2022-05-09/detailed https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:R24960/2022-05-10/detailed

so it is, ill try and photograph it as i missed that one https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:R00755/2022-05-09/detailed also an early one on tuesday, not sure what that one is https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:R24960/2022-05-10/detailed

ahh shame looks like i missed that one as went and did something else, shame will have to catch them all when they come back if anyone knows in advance what days all the locos might come back down

ahh thats a shame thanks for the updates

thanks, il try and photograph it :) cant tell if its left yet though as dosnt look to have updated? theyre really pulling out all the stops for this years gala, could be one of the best, shame i cant make it

very nice, shame i couldnt get a long shot of the 31 but it pulled into the platform

saw these on their way to swanage diesel gala earlier, very impressive as id not seen a 44/46 in person before 8-) they pulled into the lymington line platform at brockenhurst (which is quite unusual) to let an express past

nice one thanks for that ill try and photograph them https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:R24941/2022-05-03/detailed

thanks, nothing on rtt yet but will keep an eye out

still cant find any info on when or how the other visiting locos are getting there as still nothing on rtt, saw the 50 and 33 on the mainline going there recently but no other locos unless theyre already there or are going by road?
