Yeah, 60's event next weekend, D8059, D821, D1062 and the DMU are out alongside steam, it was just this weekend that should have been steam but due to a shortage D8188 worked Saturday, D821 today and should have been 37906 tomorrow but I believe it will now be 50135.
Or maybe they have not confirmed it yet so are not yet advertising, the tour is 4 months away, which is loads of time to book accomadation when the traction is announced. Anyway with this tour going to Oban there is going to be no hidden 47 or 67 suprise is there 4SRKT??
Maybe also worth a mention that 20059, D821 & D1062 as well as two DMU sets are out May 8th & 9th at the 60's weekend along with a selection of steam locos :-)
The following post is on behalf of the event organiser who is not on this forum but has asked if I would post this here:

37423 made only it's second appearence of the year on the Workington shuttles today covering for the failed 47790, having had the gen that it was out I decided to head up for a few trips. Few photos from the day are here: http://seed08.fotopic.net/c1820985.html
Speaking to the driver it seems...
Blimey mate, 4 different 37's have worked it including Mr B's last /6 and you have not bothered doing it then the first time a shed is on it's RA Maryport, quite worrying that!! :lol: I assume Mr B only went for the 47, surely he did not go all the way there for the 66 when he once flagged one...
Yeah it would have been nice to have a few minutes longer there to stretch the limbs after 7 hours run from Crewe as only had time for a sprint to the footpath for a quick photo before the return. However in the event it was the sensible thing to do as we could have been held (up to an hour?)...
Was rather good, same as when I had 423 up there last time, no messing about away from the stations is there, the driver was blocking 608 nearly everytime.
A few phots from todays trip to the GWR, started with 248 out for 215 back, was then bloody freezing so flagged the next trip for a couple of hours in the pub round the corner from the station and also got food, returned for the 1515 off Toddington with a 248/migrane combo for 215/248 back. All...
Did it last Wednesday for 37423 and spoke to the guard, he seemed to reckon they were confirmed until Jan 5th but could run after that depending on demand.
