I shall have to keep an eye out for Cambrian 2!

Come and see the real thing on the Bluebell Railway, even if it pulls Metropolitan or SR coaches rather than GWR

Is 3217 in steam again? The SVR ought to arrange with the Blubell for her to visit Kidderminster as the Dukedogs did run on the SVR in the 40s.

We've got City of Truro coming down for the Giants of Steam in 2006 so the two surviving GWR outside framers will be together only for the second time in preservation.

A. Yes

-but she's 9017 now.
B. I think they tried to last year, but the Bluebell said no so Birch Grove went intead. Personally, I'd like to see her main line certified and pulling Arriva's Cambrian Coast Expresses-but I doubt that will happen any time soon.

It won't - according to Arriva (I've been e-mailing them as they're using one of my pics as a publicity shot for 2006). Only engines will be the $MT and, maybe a Manor, as in Steam Railway.

Of course, NR will have to be happy the Manors aren't too heavy before that one can happen. But it would be great if it did!

They were designed for the Cambrian, but they can only squeeze through the line due to gauging

JonPotter · Post by **JonPotter** » Sat Sep 17, 2005 1:01 pm

NR shouldn't have too much of an issue. A 9F is cleared for the cambrian due to its length, meaning its weight is on more spans of the bridge!
