Class 73 SVR 19th/20th

[Ascot]

Just a heads up one of our locos is down for the thomas days so a class 73 (73006) will be replacing it. For all you Diesel fans and anti steams. Here's your chance for a 73.

(We should be getting a Deltic for our Gala in Autum as well)

Timings

If the darling that took our control cards from our 37 like to give them back then the 37 would be placed instead of the 73.

Believe only 1013 is currently serviceable out of that lot though although 821 and 1062 can't be too far off.
Any why not run the ECS as a service train??

Because there is no coaches
Only one set is based at Bridgnorth and that's for another train, so it uses a set from Kidderminster

Ah light engine me understands, just saw it as 'ecs' and seemed a bit of a waste

Yeah the 52s are based in Bridgnorth so it has to go all the way down to Kidderminster. They all run the first train of the day as well. Shame the 73 is only 600hp though. Could of ran 8 coaches then fully loaded.

37906 is back in traffic so there is a small chance it might run instead of 73006.
