One of my earliest railway memories was attending Rocket 150 in Rainhill with my dad.

Did they do anything for 175 years?

May be mis-remembering, but I seem to recall a replica Rocket giving short rides out the back of the NRM during the summer, I can't remember if that was 2004 or 2005 though.

Railfest (or was it Cab It?) at York in 2004?

I know I went in 2004 and 2005, but I can't remember when the Rocket replica was operating. Railfest was on 2004, I remember that because Flying Scotsman was there and somewhere there's a photo of me in the cab! :lol:
