Is anyone going on this trip behind Tangemere next Saturday? http://www.railwayvideo.com/railtours/form8.htm . I am

 

[Coxster]

I would think about it as it stops at Farnborough but I am fixing trackwork down the East Kent Railway.

 

[Julian G]

what time does it stops at Clapham Junction both ways?

 

[matt]

I will let you know when the tickets arrive

 

[matt]

[Julian G]

Does anybody know where and when it passes through certain points?

I will be travelling on Saturday on the route Whitehaven>Carlisle>BNS>Reading>Basingstoke, so I may pass it, but I would lilke to know when/where to look out for it.

I'm not sure how it works out at 193miles.

It is good value for a steam train actually. Although I'm not totally convinced by their "best value" claim, as the Jacobite on the West Highland Line may not be loads of miles but for less money you get scenery that is infinitely better.

KX to Darlington return, all behind 60009 Union of South Africa, including free access to the works at Darlington where they are building that new steam engine

where they are building that new steam engine

a neighbour was involved with that apparantly the projects falling to pieces :roll:

 

[Derek Kaye]

We had the people building that visit school once to give a lecture.. about 6 months ago

it was the A1 Peppercorn or something like that I think.

 

[AlexS]

It's a new A1 to be called Tornado. 60163.

 

[bunnahabhain]

I'm just sad they arnt building 60157 'Great Central', built October 1949 and scrapped May 1965.

Still, 60163 is a new build and not a replica of any other Loco built, which is nice.

Duchees of Sutherland will now haul the train due to 60009 not being ready in time.
