[CraigS]

A grid, which by a process of elimination must be 311* just went south through Leighton in path of 4O90....

301/302/303 all demic on Derby so .... 311?

Was 56311, apparently running with one empty flat running from Chaddesden to Grain.

Well keep an eye out for myself and Crunchy Nutter. I'll be having a pack of jammie dodger biscuits on my table as per usual..

I'll be there. Probably on from Meadowhall, depends on if I can be bothered to drive there on Saturday morning..

Anyone interested in 2 tickets for the tour? Or just 1, either way...

Please contact me gdenscombe - AT - gmail.com (obviously replace at with appropriate symbol) as I doubt I'll get round to checking on here.

It is a shame that the 56 will not produce. I was starting to resent saying it wouldn't.

Wish I could be there for the 37s though, need both of them and they're not exactly common to get for haulage. But I'm in Bognor Regis on Saturday :cry:

What 37s are they?

NB ones, which is something at least.

 

[Chester025]

What 37s are they?

37248 & 37712.

 

[Techniquest]

Which is what I'd heard, both are required for haulage. And I've got to be in bloody Bognor Regis...

Mr 313 just looked at the 1st part of that vid, prob not a good idea videoing with your back to the direction of travel there's a good chance you'll get your block knocked off by a passing train!
That is exactly what happened on the holyhead line with a ned videoing a steam tour, just be aware8)

Thanks for the heads up, I always look behind me when I do it. Not safe I know.

I knew it, spitfire were dettermined it would be a 56, I wonder if there is a time when a 56 actually does a tour?

Hopefully in the near future, but who knows...I've no faith in a 56 actually making it onto a tour booked for such traction now.

I'm almost a top man as I've had a grid on the mainline

 

[Julian G]

Not the top men for the people on the tour, more like "bowled-out" men
