Battlefield Line Christmas

[midland1]

7822 Foxcote Manor should be at the Battlefield line over Christmas New Year, but other than on their Facebook Page last September I have seen nothing. Their Webb Site and Facebook have said nothing, does anyone know anything. If it is there which way is it facing ( it faced North last year ) Thanks.

This was posted on another website on the 24th of Nov;


"If anybody is planning on visiting the line to see Foxcote Manor this weekend - you might be a bit surprised by what is on the front of the train! Foxcote Manor had a problem during a steam test following repairs this week, so her arrival has been a little delayed. Massive thanks to the South Devon Railway for allowing L92 to arrive at such short notice for one weekend (all being well with 7822!). So, if you weren't planning on popping by the railway this weekend, you might want to rethink as you've only got a couple of days to see an LT Pannier on the railway! (Services are of course Santas and they are all fully booked, so you won't be able to have a ride, but you may well be able to find somewhere lineside to get a snap!)"

L92 has since turned up at the Bodmin & Wenford and is working a train this evening so presumably Foxcote is back in working order.
