so you like the S15 then?

i had a footplate ride on it in March this year

it was fantastic

REPTON was running also that day and waiting at Goathland we saw it come up the incline at a speed i have never ever seen before

"Oh alf is driving that, you can tell!!!!"

anyone coming to the gala then????????

I don't like S15s particularly - they're not bad, but if I had to choose one I'd go for the Urie version (506) that's already on the MHR. Schools class are one of my favourite kettles, though.

Had a footplate ride on 92212 a few weeks back and it was very impressive. got over the top in the rain with a fair few on and the fireman didn't even need to break a sweat. Excellent locomotives, 9Fs. Shame they're not really Southern...

I would like to be there, but as its only December now and the gala isnt untill April/May I cannot say (lime a fair few others I'm sure who would like to go but cannot confirm yet) as that is quite a way off and it is around university hand in deadline time.

I am a constant vister to the B&KR, so the next time I go before the Gresley 100, I will ask if Morayshire is going

Isn't the Gresley Gala supposed to run for 3 weekends?

Each one having a different theme?

Looks like its only 1 weekend now, going off the distinct lack of LNER locos running (especially Gresley locos) its doubtful 3 different themes could be done (dont take this as a criticsm of the gala, its a great idea just a shame that some locos are not operational

)

Well, it's funny you should say that, but I seem to remember not so long ago you ran 6619 *WITH* the teak stock (dumbass).

In fact I think I was on that train because they had a buffet for shareholders etc.

A bit like the time Repton hauled a charter for the LNER coach group

Make the most of it, the rest of the teaks will be getting painted in blue and grey or chocolate & cream, mark my words....

davvydo · Post by **davvydo** » Sun Dec 05, 2004 9:25 am

no no no i meant why on earth shoud you want to run a GWR loco at the LNER gala thats all.

i wasnt there when 6619 ran with the teak stock.

6619 is one of my favorite locos on the line.
