Would this be on the 6th of December cos according to an update on this site http://www.uksteam.info/tours/trs03.htm I've just found its now booked to be hauled by Taw valley

I only found this out cos I'm looking for info on a WCRC 2004 railtour over the Boulby line by NELPG's K1, Can't decide if to have a ride or chase it for some pics. To my (limited) knowledge its the first steam working through my hometown since 1958. With this been a first time event will any crew training runs be required? I hope so then I can get my pics and a ride

Hi guys I'm the duty fitter on the 6 th december and it's standard tank 80135.

Hi Lemberg, have you worked at Grosmont for long? Just wondered cos I worked there myself a few years ago.

Thanks for the info, Is it still just the one trip then?

BTW the S15 is looking nice

34027 working the train was definetly a mistake on the website, I'd imagine some fast running would be needed cos its booked for a Blackpool - Doncaster trip on the same day

Hi Tommo
Just over 5yrs now. as regarding S15 825 its also out on a nymr santa special on same weekend as we are running it in this week and next, won't be finnished paintwork wise.
Lemberg.

I don't think our paths will have crossed then cos you will have started after I left,I might come up and get my hands dirty again next year (should save me a fortune in the buffet ) when I have some spare weekends. I'll be about next weekend to get some pics to post in the photography forum. I imagine this weekend will be very quiet or are there any test runs out? - Cheers

Taw Valley is working a Lincoln Christmas Special from Blackpool North on the 6th December to visit the Lincoln Christmas Market., so I doubt if it is working to Middlesborough

Any Idea which way 80135 will be facing at the weekend?

Think it will be facing smokebox first out of Grosmont as that is the way she normally faces.

I took this a couple of weeks ago....

.... not sure how long it will be facing this way, could be to even out tyre wear so it might be like this for a while.
