I got mine today; a friend got his on Saturday - so that looks like everyone should have theirs at some point this week.

I see a Class 91 is expected at Crewe open day Probably a silly question, but can it run under its own power on WCML ?
I know a class 390 Pendelino has run on ECML and know both classes use Edinburgh .
Will it be a single class 91 ; is there enough space for a comlete LNER set ...any path for it yet ?

Here is a list of expected locos ...dont know if its up to date ...

Can it? Yes. Will it? Probably not. It will be more cost effective to bring it as part of a convoy. Given the location (Locomotive Services depot) I would expect LS to deal with that with their own loco.

I have a spare ticket for this open day, as the person I was planning to go with cannot make it now. If anyone would like to buy it off me for face value, please contact me.

The only thing that comes with a carriage is the TPE 68, 121, 221 and 390. And if you want to count a departmental as a carriage then the 2 NR 73s will have one too ;)

If things go to plan then it should be 70008, 86614 and 90044. If things fully ho to plan then the wrong 70xxx may come back...

55022 Ballymoss???
55022 was running disguised as 55018 "Ballymoss" during 2016 and 2017 before it was sold to Locomotive Services Ltd towards the end of that year. I'm not sure that it's changed identities since then.

Definitely looking forward to Saturday! Hoping to get some good pics and hopefully get my last 88, since it evaded me at the DRS open days :lol:

When I saw this loco at Crewe last year it was devoid of both numbers and nameplates.

Fingers crossed for good weather on Saturday...

It is actually 90044 but that's even better because it's in two tone grey :) 20189 and 20205 on site as well as 56049 and 92038! Would recommend crewe station during the evening if you want a sneak peak. If your taking a sneak peak make sure you sneak before you peak.

92038 is there courtesy of GBRf - it may carry Caledonian Sleeper livery, but it is owned and operated by GBRf.

Originally was 044 but had to be changed to 045.im on leave so if you say its changed back in the last few hours then sorry, not checked emails recently.

When will the locos return (specifically 91119) to their depots?
On Realtime it shows how they get to Crewe but not how they return..
Any Ideas?

They will go back on Sunday. Some schedules for tomorrow aren't even done so don't expect them to be ready for Sunday.
