Just to say the DHR tank will be at the LBR in April and May - and will be starring alongside the other Indian locos - 740 and Rishra.
Lets see if it copes with the track.

Interesting Stuff. Knowing its owner its quite protective (understandably) of it I should think there have been a fair number of checks to make sure it all goes smoothly.
I might (just) be able to make it down in the first week of April to see it.
Does anyone know if the DHR replica coaching stock is coming with it?
I've heard rumours that the LBR won't be only line No.19 will be visiting this year - keep your eyes peeled.
