[Julian G]

I will be there as usual.....

 

[TheSlash]

Yeah i might come up and call in to see a friend at Peterborough at the sametime

 

[Ascot]

Might be able to pop up and see how things are doing.

 

[Guinness]

I'm up for a bit of Thrash.

Organise a meet?

 

[Jord]

If theres four class 14s, not a chance there could be a quadrouple header?

 

[Nick]

I'm up for a bit of Thrash.

Organise a meet?

Despite Al's pessimism?!

I too am up for it.

 

[AlexS]

Pay a shedload to get a return from Loughborough to Peterborough to ride in some foreign muck? I think not! Comes to summat when they advertise the mk1s as an attraction!

It's called history.
Come down and we'll goto the railway, then go for a blast down the A1

 

[AlexS]

If I get a half decent paying job in Loughborough or said area by then, I'll look into it. If i'm still hunting at that point, I can't afford it.

[D306]

[FusionRail]

ahh well i should be there.. keeping out of the way of Ascot of course

Should be a good weekend

 

[Aureol]

I went to the one in March on both days, and throughly enjoyed it.
I'd love to go to this one, but I'm going to Kings Cross on Saturday with 6233 and I'm working with the Class Forty Appeal on Sunday, sooo I'm booked up, sadly :cry:

 

[TheSlash]

Can't make it now, but give my regards to the 33/1 Group.

 

[Julian G]

The Gala was DREADFUL!
the most hellfire working was 40106+37518!!

 

[D306]

the most hellfire working was 40106+37518!!

That was real hellfire between those two. Running back from Peterborough with those two leading, black fumes from both of them. Nearly the whole train was flailing. I was, but there was no-one behind me flailing. I had filmed it, and will be uploading to my site real soon.
